Exactly. Distro packages putting files in /etc/systemd is also contrary
to systemd logic (/usr/lib is for packaging, /etc is for the admin).
Everything which can be put underneath /etc/systemd/system can be put under
/usr/lib/systemd/system also.

This nicely avoids any questions about %config vs %config(noreplace) vs.
anything else.
