What is missing IMVHO is the ability of handling service dependencies, but that one is very tricky. For example, it mostly makes no sense to run a mail/web/... server if there is no network, but the minority of cases where it does make sense is sizeable nonetheless. And trying to cater for both cases rapidly gets to be an unmanageable mess.
What should be discussed are only serious *requirements* in the init scripts dependencies. In the example you gave here it makes no sense to prevent the web server from running because of no network because it could serve a purpose and it does function that way (and can be turned off if the user did not want it running). A dependency should be only what is absolutely required for basic functionality so that if it is turned on it has the *capability of starting*. It should be a much more manageable mess when the bare bones basics are figured out.
