I've uploaded a version of watchdog with this debdiff attached to my
ppa:
ppa:raharper/bugfixes
Please give a go and see if that resolves the starting on boot issue.
I've verified this fix myself under QEMU with a Xenial cloud image:
# create some user-data for easy login
% cat user-data
#cloud-config
password: passw0rd
chpasswd: { expire: False }
ssh_pwauth: True
# create a local-datasource
% cloud-localds -m local seed.img user-data
# launch the cloud-image under snapshot with the seed and watchdog device
qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 1024 -smp 2 \
-drive
file=xenial-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.img,snapshot=on,format=qcow2,id=boot \
-watchdog i6300esb -watchdog-action reset \
-net user -net nic,model=virtio -nographic \
-cdrom seed.img \
-redir tcp:2222::22 \
-serial stdio
# ssh into the guest after boot
1. ssh -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -p 2222 ubuntu@localhost
# install watchdog kernel module (not in cloud image by default)
2. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic
# load watchdog module
3. sudo modprobe i6300esb
# install watchdog service
4. sudo apt-get install watchdog
3. sudo systemctl status watchdog
# observe error from current package

Unbalanced quoting, ignoring:
# install new package
4. sudo dpkg --install watchdog_5.14-3ubuntu1_amd64.deb
# tell systemd to install watchdog service
5. systemctl enable watchdog
