+1

Gentoo's initscripts have a dependency-tracking functionality wherein
one service can forcibly require another (such as Apache and Squid
requiring that the 'net' service be started, et al.)

Is there something akin to this already implemented? If not, how hard
would it be to implement this? (Perhaps even port it in a rudimentary
form from Gentoo's?)

Thanks.
