Here is another way of achieving a similar end, which is already half
implemented.
On Sys-V based systems (well, Irix, at least, is where I saw it), and
now in FreeBSD:/usr/local/rc.d/* the daemon startup files are run
as 'xntpd start'.
This could be extended to
'pkg command', where
pkg={sendmail|qmail|apache|...}
and
command={start|stop|enable|disable}.
Just a thought for something flexible and extensible.
