Public bug reported:

Under certain circumstances update-rc.d does not disable packages from
starting, specifically on runlevel 1.

In this example I'm using dns-clean service provided by pppconfig
  
pppconfig enables the following service via postinst:
  #!/bin/sh
  
  # Postinst for pppconfig by John Hasler 1999-2005
  # Any possessor of a copy of this program may treat it as if it
  # were in the public domain.  I waive all rights.
  
  set -e
  
  if [ -x "`which update-menus`" ] ; then
      update-menus
  fi if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt "2.3.18ubuntu2"; then
          update-rc.d -f dns-clean remove >/dev/null
  fi
  update-rc.d dns-clean start 70 1 2 3 4 5 . >/dev/null
  
  
  exit 0


After installation of pppconfig package the following rc.N symlinks are set for this service:
  # ls -1 /etc/rc*/*dns-clean
  /etc/rc1.d/S70dns-clean
  /etc/rc2.d/S70dns-clean
  /etc/rc3.d/S70dns-clean
  /etc/rc4.d/S70dns-clean
  /etc/rc5.d/S70dns-clean

When attempting to disable this is what I get:
  # /usr/sbin/update-rc.d dns-clean disable
  update-rc.d: warning:  start runlevel arguments (none) do not match dns-clean Default-Start values (1 2 3 4 5)
   Disabling system startup links for /etc/init.d/dns-clean ...
   Removing any system startup links for /etc/init.d/dns-clean ...
     /etc/rc1.d/S70dns-clean
     /etc/rc2.d/S70dns-clean
     /etc/rc3.d/S70dns-clean
     /etc/rc4.d/S70dns-clean
     /etc/rc5.d/S70dns-clean
   Adding system startup for /etc/init.d/dns-clean ...
     /etc/rc1.d/S70dns-clean -> ../init.d/dns-clean
     /etc/rc2.d/K30dns-clean -> ../init.d/dns-clean
     /etc/rc3.d/K30dns-clean -> ../init.d/dns-clean
     /etc/rc4.d/K30dns-clean -> ../init.d/dns-clean
     /etc/rc5.d/K30dns-clean -> ../init.d/dns-clean

Note that the service is still disabled on runlevel 1, the expected
outcome is to disable runlevel 1 as well.
