I can report that his problem has been solved in 6.5.0 RC3, leafp2p should not be left running anymore unless Netgear cloud services are being used. That is my experience with RC3 so far.

yep, after the other thread about mysql, I figured that out.
So the point is, in the case of disabling leafp2p, the following is not enough:
systemctl stop leafp2p systemctl disable leafp2p
Because that was an older one, it originated in init.d and the systemd units are generated on each reboot. A complete stopping and disabling of leafp2p would be this:
update-rc.d leafp2p remove systemctl stop leafp2p systemctl disable leafp2p
The above also applies to mysql and rsyslog that I was also having a hard time getting rid of. The above also disables those services completely without actually removing any software. AS LONG AS the LSB header comments are in the init.d script. If not, then you might have to basically remove all the rcN.d symlinks manually, near as I can tell.
