Martin, this looks like it renders the network-online target entirely
useless.  When we're in Austin, I think you, me, and stgraber should sit
down and argue a bit about what "correct" behaviour is, but I'd guess
it'll looks something like "block on a one-shot attempt to bring up the
network, and if that fails miserably, background a second attempt so the
boot can continue".  Ish.

Title:
  change for LP 1425376 breaks systemd After=network-online.target

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  
  The change to ifup@.service done as part of LP 1425376 appears to break the ordering of units marked as "After=network-online.target".  In my specific case, a new service script with "After=network-online.target" is erroneously run concurrently with dhclient.  As the new script depends on networking configuration being complete, it fails as the IP addresses and routes from DHCP are not configured.  This functioned correctly on vivid daily images from a few days ago, and appears to break starting with the vivid daily from approximately 0409.

  Infinity suggested this change as a likely suspect:

  and, indeed, reverting this (copying ifup@.service from a few-days old
  vivid image to a current image) resolves the problem.

  (installed via AWS).
