+1 to the general idea, however I'm somewhat uncertain about
server(port_name), it needs more explanation. Consider for example the
You mean on

There is no mention of server(port_name) on

It is explained on

I had understood that it had been ratified, but I may be wrong.
I wanted to wait for the guideline to have find a new home with a more

tomcat5 package: it's configured to use port 8080 by default. I
don't think
server(webcache) would describe it well at all. Also, changing servers to
8080 is used for too much stuff to be usefull in a Requires, in my
opinion. Still should be server(webcache) is a server listening on
localhost on this port wants to have this ability provided, in case it
would have make sense.
run in non-default ports is pretty common and kind of breaks the
"contract"
of server(port_name), but perhaps that's just a documentation issue.
Also the server may not be started.
