Nobody has. D-Bus service files are for services that want to be D-Bus 
activated, i.e. started by D-Bus if a message is sent to their well known 
name.

This is very handy for on-demand services, since any application using them 
doesn't have to care about whether it is running or not.

kded has been around for way longer than that, it is started by code in KDE 
core libraries. In a KDE session that would happen as part of startkde's 
working.

I guess adding a D-Bus service file doesn't hurt for such cases that kded went 
away unexpectantly.

Cheers,
Kevin
