[tor-relays] tor-instance-create vs. /etc/tor/torrc

Hi,

I use tor-instance-create to spawn a number of relay instances.
However, there seems to be one extra instance running - the default
one that reads /etc/tor/torrc (and not
/etc/tor/instances/INSTANCE/torrc).

How do I disable that default tor relay? It opens port 9050 and does
who else knows what by default. I can delete /etc/tor/torrc and it
seems to do the trick, however, I am not sure how permanent this
change will be with automatic package updates.

Thanks!
