So I guess it's a bug or it wasn't initially planned to work that way.
You will find attached to this message a patch against Nagios 3.0.6 that 
should fix this bug.

This servicedependency definition should now work:

define servicedependency {
   service_description             NRPE
   dependent_servicegroup_name     nrpe-services
   execution_failure_criteria      n
   notification_failure_criteria   c,u
}

You shouldn't get those errors anymore at startup:

Error: NULL master service description/host name in service dependency 
definition
Error: Could not register service execution dependency (config file 
'/etc/nagios3/XXXXX.cfg', starting on line YY)

For all services found in servicegroup "nrpe-services", a 
servicedependency against the NRPE service of their respective host 
should now be defined for each of them.

Any opinion about it? Is it the proper way to do it?
