I think we need a new approach to starting services here.

We have several options:
- have heartbeat silently ignore starting processes where the executable
  is not present;
- have the add-on packages such as Pacemaker or the GUI drop-in config
  snippets in /etc/ha.d/conf.d/ (similar to how cron handles this)
  saying what should be started.

I like the second approach best, as it moves the knowledge to the
subpackages themselves.
