Hi,
Your package ifrename has an initscript that is enabled in runlevel
S, but it does not provide a corresponding systemd service unit.
Systemd generates units for all sysv init scripts that do not have a
corresponding systemd unit. By default, it sets
DefaultDependencies=yes, which means they get ordered after early
boot has finished.
The problem is that to preserve the runlevel S semantics, systemd in
debian is currently[1] ordering all S services Before=sysinit.target.
This target is particularly early in the boot sequence, which means
that it is most of the time too strict. In turn, this means it is
fairly easy to end up with dependency cycles. For an example, see bug
[763315]. Do note that the cycle still exists with sysvinit, it is
just that systemd complains more loudly.
Please add a systemd unit for the given service with the appropriate
dependencies, which most of the time will be less strict than
Before=sysinit.target. In other cases, the script is simply not
applicable in systemd, in which case the package should ship a
symlink to /dev/null as /lib/systemd/system/<initscript>.service.
We have prepared a transition wiki page[2] explaining the issue in
more detail, and outlining some general guidance. Please refer to it
as it will have useful information.

Hello!
While investigating this bug I found that ifrename already ships a
native unit file since the above version (with additional fixes
to it in later versions). Thus this bug report can be closed.
While having the wireless-tools sources at hand I looked at it
and would like to suggest one possible additional improvement.
Given that the service does nothing on stop, I don't think
it needs to Conflict (or be Before) shutdown.target.
That should only be needed if your service needs to be
stopped before shutdown (but since you don't do anything on
stop it's obviously not needed).
Regards,
Andreas Henriksson
