You can also leave the package installed, but disable starting it after
reboot:

insserv -r isc-dhcp-server

I have chosen this route myself. In order not to forget, you can have a
configuration tool (eg cfengine) check the status of the package and
re-run the above command in cases where package upgrades re-enable the
service. This has been necessary here, as experience shows.
