I wouldn't pick on any of these: network-online.target is a sloppily defined
shim for SysV init backwards compatibility, and may not ever get started (in
fact, that's the goal ☺); and the container might not use networkd, so I
wouldn't use s-n-wait-online either. I think querying

  [ -n "$(ip route show to 0/0)" ]

is asking the question more directly, i. e. "do I have a default route", and is
ignorant of exactly how the network is brought up (by networkd, NM, ifupdown,
or not explicitly at all as the container might share the host's network
namespace).

I agree that just adding it into this existing polling loop is the right place.
Adding the above default route test here should do nicely?

Also, this polling loop is still using a "runlevel == 2" test, which by now
might get a bit rusty. But I figure that's another story.. :-)
