Well, I guess the main question is, why do we have the problem as
described in #880498 if I add the .service files.

Another question would be: do think doing 2 .service files like in
Ubuntu a good idea? Wouldn't it be more simple to do one?

Last one: what's the directive I should use to start OVS at the good
moment in the boot process?
