Sorry for not using bugs.marples.name as you indicated in your Readme file,
but the name currently does not resolve. Similarily, your site does not 
indicate how to file a bug report (do I need an OpenID for doing that?)

I would like to know if there is a runscript interface providing a service 
dependency list for a virtual service, which could be used from within an init 
script.

Actually, you could call any script residing in /etc/init.d with parameters 
like "iuse", "ineed", "ibefore" and so on, but you can't do that for virtual 
services like "net" or "logger".

Having such an interface available is of some interest with regard to firewall 
init scripts. E.g., one would  prefer not to use a "logger" prerequisite, if 
the  "logger" implementation actually depends on "net", or at least issue a 
strong warning about a likely misconfiguration. 

Alternatively, perhaps one could already test for named virtual dependencies?
