I think yes for compatibility with alot of howto's in the world. and if you
don't do this now you're probably never do, there are alot of howtos about
qmail,djbdns, vpopmail, and others saying to start the services creating a
symlink, something like this.

  ln -s /etc/dnscache /service
  ln -s /etc/tinydns /service

but you should not use /service directory, you need something like
/var/run/daemontools or /var/lib/daemontols or something else, ask Mamoru he is
the best person to answer what's the best location.
