No, thats how you set and remove runlevels. Programs should have a
file in /etc/default/ where you set the start on boot flag.

$ cat /etc/default/apache2
# 0 = start on boot; 1 = don't start on boot
NO_START=1

$ cat /etc/default/openvpn
# This is the configuration file for /etc/init.d/openvpn
# Start only these VPNs automatically via init script.
# Allowed values are "all", "none" or space separated list of
# names of the VPNs. If empty, "all" is assumed.
#
#AUTOSTART="all"
AUTOSTART="none"

Too bad they're not consistent. :-)
