This solution violates the principle of least surprise.
If an installed package has an init script that has been disabled it is
obvious that the individual/s who manage the system want it disabled.
The current upgrade script blindly assumes either the sysadmin did not
know what they were doing or they made a mistake. Upgrade scripts should
never make such assumptions and should always respect configurations made
by administrators.

# update-rc.d -f apache2 remove
The use of -f is to force the removal of the symlinks even
if there is still /etc/init.d/apache2.
Note: This command will only disable the service until next
time the service is upgraded. If you want to make sure the
service won't be re-enabled upon upgrade, you should also
type the following:
# update-rc.d apache2 stop 80 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 .

Title:
aptitude upgrade re-enables mysql rc scripts
Status in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Binary package hint: aptitude
Upgrading previously installed software fails to check whether the
package's rc scripts have been disabled and enables them regardless.
If an rc script has been disabled (update-rc.d -f remove) it should
remain disabled across upgrades (and safe-upgrades). This flaw can
be triggered in many packages but the ones noticed most recently are
mysql*. Have not checked sources but it probably should be patched in
aptitude, synaptic, apt-get, dpkg, and any other package management
utilities that perform upgrades.
