The referenced upstream bug report shows that upstream agrees this is a
regression in systemd behavior which they are planning to correct, which
is reasonable.
However, I think this is also a bug in the kdump-tools package.
'default.target' is a meta-target, which no package can know whether
it's appropriate to start its service under without knowing what
default.target is set to. In particular, kdump-tools also declares
'Wants=network-online.target'. If default.target (either on the kernel
commandline or on the filesystem) is pointed to some sort of local-only
rescue target, having network-online pulled into this target via kdump-
tools could break the boot.
I think kdump-tools in Debian and Ubuntu should instead be integrating
with multi-user.target.
