We already do. Someone who was concerned about such things could write a policy-rc.d which checked to see whether a particular daemon was allowed to start based on any number of critera, including whether it depends on the network, whether it has been installed for a long time, or whether one of the configuration files it ships has been modified. > The policy could state that network service's init.d script must check > for a file named "/etc/no-paranoia"[1]. Anything which sets up a network-listening daemon should almost certainly depend on $network, so assuming LSB compliant init scripts, no changes would even be required to figure out what a network service was.
