I don't see how is this going to help, sorry.

You meant all services that were depending on the device should depend
on that second .service ?

I so, I would rather avoid that: it seems much cleaner to me to have the
device service started once the configuration has been done, ie when the
device really ready.

Actually my question is rather : does adding dependencies on device
services is supported, so I can make it 'appear' only when the service
which creates and configures it is completely finished ?

I have to see how to do that and how to set SYSTEMD_READY=1 once configured.

Thanks
