This problem may be triggered by heavy load
at startup.  I am experiencing this on a 'server' type
system that starts many services at boot time, while
another Debian machine with wireless starts distccd
successfully.  

        Systemd derives the dependencies
of LSB scripts from the headers, 
i.e. 'Should-Start:  $network' is converted to 
'Wants=network-online.target' (as shown by 'systemctl cat distcc').
Comparisons of the started times for 'network-online.target' and
'distcc.service' on the two machines may be instructive:

Failed distcc start:
-------------------
systemctl status network-online.target
 network-online.target - Network is Online
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/network-online.target; static)
   Active: active since Sat 2015-01-17 10:03:04 EST; 2 days ago
systemctl status distcc
 distcc.service - LSB: simple distributed compiler server
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/distcc)
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Sat 2015-01-17 10:03:30 EST; 2 days 
ago

26 seconds difference

Successfule distcc start:
------------------------
systemctl status network-online.target
 network-online.target - Network is Online
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/network-online.target; static)
   Active: active since Tue 2015-01-20 06:18:38 EST; 2h 17min ago
systemctl status distcc
 distcc.service - LSB: simple distributed compiler server
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/distcc)
   Active: active (running) since Tue 2015-01-20 06:18:56 EST; 2h 17min ago
