I've just had a look at gnu/services/shepherd.scm, and it looks
like system services can set `auto-start?` to #f when creating
their shepherd-service, but not many expose this. I think openssh
is the only service to expose it to the system configuration. You
could try patching the service you want to use to expose the
option to not automatically start it. Which service are you trying
to disable?
There's a discussion to be had about whether shepherd should
remember disabled services across a reboot/reconfigure. I don't
think it should, because the running services should be considered
a part of the system specification.
