I can't help with CIFS mounts from fstab specifically, but I did learn
a thing or two about network-online.target in Debian due to a similar
issue with nfs-kernel-server.
network-online.target only cares about interfaces that are listed as
"auto" in /etc/network/interfaces. Not allow-hotplug. It has to be
auto.
Once you mark your interfaces as auto instead of allow-hotplug, then you
can create a dependency on network-online.target and have it actually
work. I did so for the nfs-kernel-server package, which uses a systemd
service named nfs-server with an alias of nfs-kernel-server... and yes,
it took me a while to figure *that* mess out too. Lesson #2: never try
to create a drop-in override for an *alias* name of a service. You must
determine the actual non-alias name first.
