I don't know what are the approval criteria, but the following test must be passed by any package containing a daemon (service) before it's released:
A package containing a daemon (service) must successfully execute "service daemon-init-script start" after the package has been installed. This command must launch a working instance of the daemon, with at least the basic functions enabled, the definition of "basic" depending on the daemon. No configuration changes should be required for that. Examples: Apache, Sendmail, Postfix, Squid.
Sorry, but this is simply not true. I own 2 packages that will never work like that. They need a manual configuration before they can be started.
