It's just a shortcut / boilerplate for defining a service and then subscribing that service to files and a package. You'd just install the module and then call the "easysvc::svc { 'my-service':" line with all of the options. After that, you'd have a service, a package, and files all defined you could use. This handles about 90% of the cases for my simple puppet installation right now, so I'd rather just define the services in nodes.pp with easysvc than wrangle a different module for every single service.

If any of my service management needs become more demanding, I'll look for a full blown module or write my own. Probably going to do that for mysql and apache.
