Each package has a config information file, something to the effect of:
[package]
RUN=1,2,3
package: dependencies
startup-commands
The first line "[package]" (really the section heading to allow for
a package to start up more than one thing) is for each target that
gets added to the startup line in the Makefile. The "RUN" tag refers
to what run-states (or run-levels) it is started for. The remainder
of the section are the text to include into the makefile.
The comment "well, how do you configure what it is dependent on"
is answered "the same way you'd figure out what number to assign it".
