I finally found it.  Here's how to change all those symbolic links into
one managable rc file.  Here's the blub from dselect:
----------------------------------------------------

file-rc - Alternative one-configfile boot mechanism

This package provides an alternative mechanism to boot the system and to
shut it down.  The /etc/rc?.d links will be converted into one single
configuration file /etc/runlevel.conf instead, which is easier to
administrate than symlinks, and is also more flexible.

The package will automatically convert your existing symlinks into the 
file method on installation, and convert the file back into symlinks on
removal. Both mechanism are compatible trough /etc/init.d/rc,
/etc/init.d/rcS and /usr/sbin/update-rc.d scripts.
