No, in English, as usual (my whole system is in English, mainly to
avoid translations, and this is also better for bug reports).
The rc-local.service(8) man page says:
Also note that rc-local.service is ordered after network.target, which
does not mean that the network is functional, see systemd.special(7).
If the script requires a configured network connection, it may be
desirable to pull in and order it after network-online.target with a
drop-in:
# /etc/systemd/system/rc-local.service.d/network.conf
[Unit]
Wants=network-online.target
After=network-online.target
"After=network-online.target" is actually what
/lib/systemd/system/rc-local.service.d/debian.conf does.
So the user may be surprised that /etc/rc.local is not run
earlier enough (or not run at all if the network is down
when the machine is booted?).
