Bug#770504: systemd: log all members of cyclic dependencies (loops)

Package: systemd
Version: 215-6
Severity: wishlist

(Bug carefully titled to include both "cycl" and "loop" since those are the
searches I've been using to find related bugs :-)

Looking at <https://bugs.debian.org/768548>, which involved a cyclic
dependency: systemd logs that there was a loop, and which arbitrary point
it tried to use to break it. However, it does not log (an example of) the
whole path around the loop before it started trying to break it.
It would be great if it could.

where I tried to look for a general solution to cyclic dependencies
between "rcS things" that need networking, and "rc2 things" that provide
or want to come before networking, without having this as a prerequisite.
