I already asked vHanda on IRC and he told me that it is not necessary for nepomuk services.
He also had a look at the patch and he told me that the nepomuk part is ok...

If dependencies are not met t-i-d sometimes crashes (for example if nepomukserver is started after t-i-d) and sometimes hangs (for example if t-i-d is started after nepomukserver but before the services are initialized)

Checking if the service is available should be mandatory for all telepathy-kde apps, because otherwise they might be using outdated data (for example contact list will show for contacts the status they had last time that t-i-d was running)
