Description:

Please move the by upstream provided systemd drop-in /usr/lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager.service.d/NetworkManager-ovs.conf into a separate package.

Reason:
In my eyes one package should not contain a systemd unit file and additionally a drop-in file for this unit file.
Furthermore, it blocks the use of systemd drop-in files by other packages because systemd does not support multiple drop-in files with the same keywords such as "Wants" or "After".

Attached is a usable patch file.
Regarding the package name: I couldn't think of anything better. ;)

Kind regards
Detlev

% cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager.service.d/NetworkManager-ovs.conf
[Unit]
After=openvswitch.service

Package openvswitch does not contain openvswitch.service

What does your comment have to do with my request?

The drop-in is useless because no package ships openvswitch.service. It should be removed instead of being split into a separate package.

Sure it does.
