We've seen this pattern being requested in many packages: normally a
network service dependency isn't needed because a service by default
doesn't bind to a specific address. If a user configures a service to
bind on a specific address, then often they also need to add the network
dependency locally. Otherwise the service will start before the network
interface is brought up and fail.

ordering

However, in the case of mongodb, Ubuntu no longer ships mongodb in its
latest releases, so there is no further action that can be taken on this
bug specifically. For the Ubuntu development release, I'm therefore
setting this bug to Won't Fix.

It seems unlikely to me that we'd make a change to an existing stable
release to add the service dependency, but that path remains potentially
open. Note though that a workaround is trivially available by overriding
the service configuration locally.
