Hello,
I am currently playing around with shipping a native systemd service

Hello,
I am not 100% sure what the best/correct dependencies for Debian's
systemd unit (Type=exec) are.
For reference exim git has:
Requires=network.target
After=networking.target
while Fedora, Gentoo, Opensuse use
After=network.target
and we (Debian) currently have
