Uh, this looks like a "pull" type of thing in which ever init.d
script starts its dependencies. I don't think this is a good idea.
After all, the main reason why we want dependencies is to be able to
parallelise the startup process. If we do that, we will run into
locking problems trying to keep track which dependencies have been
started and which not. Or we make other packages assume too much
information about a given dependencies (e.g. by requiring a /bin/ps
check).
