Guus already suggested to simply add
 WantedBy=network-online.target

This would be a partial solution and better then nothing, I guess.

I still think though, that we should consider allow-hotplug interfaces
when dealing with network-online.target.

The reason is, that the debian installer uses allow-hotplug by default.
And mounting remote file systems under systemd requires a properly
hooked up network-online.target.
Which means, for the vast majority of users with remote (NFS) mounts we
currently ship a broken setup.
