Eh, that is not the supported way to disable services.  The start
symlinks should be changed to stop symlinks to disable a service the
supported way.  Try something like this instead (or 'update-rc.d
script disable' if you have a very recent sysv-rc package :):

  for s in nfs-common nfs-kernel-server samba; do 
      for f in /etc/rc?.d ; do
          if [ -e $f/S??$s ] ; then
             mv $f/S??$s $f/K01$s
          fi
      done
  done
  insserv -v # to reorder the stop symlinks based on dependency information

I'm not that familiar with the logic of invoke-rc.d, so I will have to
spend some time to see if I can figure out what is going on there.  I
agree that invoke-rc.d should not start disabled services.  What
was/is the output from 'runlevel' when you upgraded the packages?

Happy hacking,
