Not quite, if you leave at least one symlink somewhere in the
rc?.d directories, your config should be left alone (i.e. the
symlinks won't be redone). See the update-rc.d manpage:
: INSTALLING INIT SCRIPT LINKS
: When run with either the defaults, start, or stop options,
: update-rc.d makes links /etc/rcrunlevel.d/[SK]NNname
