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,
