I was asking about (complex) service dependencies because I haven't
really encountered something like this so far, only declared
dependencies because "we could declare them", eg, the LDAP/sendmail case
on Solaris I mentioned or the fact that apache on the box I'm presently
using 'depends' on bind and syslog.
