Description
I've upgraded my DSL gateway to OpenRC 0.4.3. I noticed, that the start of services like named, sshd, etc. was delayed until the interface ppp0 was really up. An /etc/init.d/net.ppp0 resultet in a stop&start of very many services.
Of course I know, that I can rc_depend_strict to "NO" to resolve the issue.
Yet, I would like to suggest, that it is configurable, which interfaces are actually included and excluded if a service depends on net. It seems obvious to me, that probably nobody wants that ppp interfaces are included by default.

You meen rc_net_ppp0_provide="!net", right?
Why is the variable not called rc_provide_ppp0 ?
All other variables are called rc_need_* and rc_use_* etc. and rc_net_ppp0_provide doesn't seem to fit to the scheme.
Actually, it seems exactly like what I'm looking for.
It's not documented thou. You should put some infos about it net.example.

Actually, also rc_provide_ppp0="!net" seems to work as well!

es, you're correct - it's rc_net_ppp0_provide="!net".
You can use rc_provide="!net" in /etc/conf.d/net.ppp0, as that is specific to net.ppp0
/etc/conf.d/net is not so we make special provision for it.
The exact rule is this - rc_$svcname_$provide, then rc_$provide.
This is documented in runscript(8) as it's for all init script, not just net scripts.
rc_provide_ppp0="!net" is a special exception for net.* scripts which existed before the generic approach as described above.
Sounds to me that you don't want net.ppp0 to satisfy the net provision.
You can do this by adding this to /etc/conf.d/net
rc_net_lo_provide="!net"
