As Seth mentioned in comment #13 likely network-online.target should be the solution. @Owlbsidian - could you test and confirm with that as a fix as well?
A related fun quote from the systemd page about it: "... please just fix your program to be friendly to dynamically changing network configuration. That way you will make your users happy because things just start to work, and you will get fewer bug reports ..." Without that support you can still run into issues if e.g. you have a manually added interface you depend on (no service target will help you there). But that in turn would be an upstream feature request more than anything else. Anyway, as long as ssh doesn't support that we might want to finally tackle that issue to at least improve it. Now that systemd has more means to express "online". Maybe even by directly fixing it in Debian.

I am using Ubuntu 7.10 and the version 1:4.6p1-5ubuntu0.2 of the openssh-server package. I would expect that sshd is started after boot but it will not and I found this in /var/log/auth.log: sshd[4527]: error: Bind to port 22 on 10.1.1.22 failed: Cannot assign requested address. sshd[4527]: fatal: Cannot bind any address. Once the System is started you can start/stop the sshd with the /etc/init.d/ssh script without any problems.
