  I don't agree with this approach actually. Doing it this way means
that we now have dependencies for the daemon spread into non-obvious
places not directly associated with starting the daemon.

  It is much better to do this in a single place that associated with
the daemon in question - and not have a somewhat hidden dependency in a
generic config file.
