DefaultDependencies=false means it won't get "ensure that the service is started only after basic system initialization is completed and is properly terminated on system shutdown." (from the systemd.unit(5) man page). Seems like a reasonable thing to want to avoid for programs that are meant to be started as part of initializing the system. e.g. you might want RPC daemons running as soon as possible. You most likely do want haveged running as soon as possible. -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
