imho wrong example, like: mysql has the init script and libmysql is the
depend. depends usually don't have an init script

though i (as a user) sometimes do web development, then i start
apache+mysql but they're not running by default, i think it's a real
example (just like many kde users have gnome installed but usually they
don't use it and vica versa)

of course if we say let's enable everything by default, it's not _that_
big problem (apart form that it's not logical imho), just we have to add
something like the followings to the porting gide:

"if the service had a scriptlet for enabling a service, delete. if it
did not have one, then add one to disable the service. to sum up, you
always have to change the scriptlet"

still waiting for more votes
