Don't think so. Service is for *controlling* existing services, so using the
fact seems ok to me in case the service
file doesn't come as part of a package, in which case one could simply assume
that if that package is installed,
the service must also be there:
package { 'mypkg':
...
}
service { 'myservice':
...
require => Package['mypkg'],
}
OTOH, if it is a custom service, one could as well manage the service file with
Puppet, so that you can be sure it
exists when you want to manage it, like
file { '/etc/init.d/myservice':
...
}
service { 'myservice':
...
require => File['/etc/init.d/myservice'],
}
HTH...
