[Bug 1442828] [NEW] change for LP 1425376 breaks systemd After=network-online.target

The change to ifup at .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 at .service from a few-days old
vivid image to a current image) resolves the problem.

The affected version is  ubuntu-vivid-daily-amd64-server-20150409.2
