I believe Service Dependency information comes from the registry. For instance..

BITS (Background Intelligent Transfer Service) depends on the RPC
Service to start. In the registry, the following key exists.

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\BITS, with entry
DependsOnService set to RpcSs

If you locate the RpcSs service in that list
(HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services), you can see it is the RPC
service. Take this with a grain of salt, though. I haven't ever
attempted to modify dependencies of services, just read what was
there.
