The packaging guidelines actually use 'unit file' as the term
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Systemd#Filesystem_locations
"Packages with systemd unit files *must* put them into %{_unitdir}.
%{_unitdir} evaluates to /lib/systemd/system"

A unit file provides configuration for a service (or other type of
systemd resource). So saying 'configuration file, not a unit file'
doesn't make conceptual sense - they're one & the same thing.
