Yeah, but milestones aren't quite the same as services.

By default, the system boots to the pseudo-milestone "all", which 
includes all services.  However, you can explicitly configure the system 
to boot to "milestone/multi-user-server".

If m-u-s does not depend on our service, our service won't be started in 
such a configuration.  (Such a configuration is precisely the reason I'm 
asking this question.)

So I guess another way to look at it, a higher-level view, would be "if 
the system is configured to boot to milestone/multi-user-server, should 
random add-on services like management agents be started?".

If that answer is "yes", presumably the implementation would be that 
m-u-s would depend on the service, but perhaps there are other 
implementations that would achieve the same result.
