Michael,

Here's the commit:

https://salsa.debian.org/openstack-team/third-party/openvswitch/commit/650fce2f45aac5a46e1cec6ea48dffce0b095c23

I very much would appreciate any comment / suggestion you would make.
Even better if you can send us a patch (or a merge request in Salsa). I
have to admit that the interaction between the .service file and the
ifupdown hook is a bit hard to understand for me, so I took what was in
Ubuntu, and it seemed to work as expected for me.

Cheers,

Thomas Goirand (zigo)

That seems like the wrong thing to do.
networking.service is specific to ifupdown (auto). We do have several
other network configuration systems. I hope this was not actually
applied as a fix? The changelog is unfortunately unclear in that regard:

  * Added 2 debian/*.service files (Closes: #878757, #771507).

Thomas, can you please post the complete change that was actually applied.

Bug#878757: Openvswitch must started before networking servise

[Fedor Goncharov]

Package: openvswitch-switch
Version: 2.6.2~pre+git20161223-3
Priority: critical

The Openvswitch daemon must be started before the network.service. 
Because when the initiation of the network started interfaces from the 
options should exist, or if you try to configure openvswitch in 
/etc/network/interfaces, then the ovs daemon must be running to execute 
commands.
Please create a systemd configuration with the option "Before: 
networking.service" for a stable version of debian.
