When measuring the amount of packages in Debian/sid with dependency
information for their init.d scripts today, I was very happy to
discover that more than 2/3 of the packages in Sid now have dependency
information included. Only one base package is missing it
(libdevmapper1.02.1), and only

What about circular dependencies that must be broken differently
depending on the admin configuration ?

You have your answer right there: let the admin fix it.
Exactly. And the insserv system provides a system where overrides are

Packages may or may not require services, depending on actual
runtime configuration. Eg. roundup can use one or more out of a
number of database mechanisms, some of which require external SQL
servers, and at least one that doesn't.
Correct.
Request-Tracker may be run at least

Blootbot requires a mysql database to be up and running, or it will

host. How's best to handle this situation in the init script

I suggest adding the mysql init.d script in the should-start header,
