Well, then set DEfaultDEpendencies=no and pull it in by
sysinit.target. But that's only OK if the service is capable of
running in early-boot mode (i.e does not try to access /var and stuff).

Remote mount units do not pull that in. you can use it to mount all
remote mounts, but the remote mounts will not pull it in, the
dependency is only one way.
