Reading the patch, it seems reasonable to *me* at first glance. One of
the very few advantages to systemd's incessant feature growth is that
it makes the references to its list of daemons slightly more
consistent so it could be easier to state that init time dependency on
the network configuration more consistent to configure.

But. If it's only needed for Samba with the domain controller features
needed, then shouldn't it be activated only if the domain controller
features are enabled at all? Or is it needed anyway for other,
non-domain controller setups?

I'd agree as somebody who's tried backporting samba-4.x to RHEL and CentOS.
