Understanding Fedora's use of systemd presets and packaging requirements

I'm generally familiar with how systemd presets work but I'm at a bit of loss as to how part of all the magic works.  To best explain my confusion, let me say that I make a customized live spin of Fedora and I have a package we'll call "my-dist" which is similar in nature to the "fedora-release" package in that it provides a custom preset file.  I still use fedora-release because this spin is not *that* customized, so it's best to think of this as an extension.  I have another package we'll call "my-service" which has a systemd service unit file and all the usual %systemd_post, etc. macros.  When I boot my live spin I find that my-service is not enabled despite the preset in my-dist.  I can "systemctl preset-all" to rectify this so I believe most requirements are correct.  I do see that livemedia-creator installs my-service *before* it installs my-dist so if the %systemd_post is called as each rpm is installed that would explain my problem because my custom preset isn't present yet.

How does Fedora itself accomplish this???  I don't see every package providing a service having a dependency on fedora-release to address this ordering issue.  I can certainly stick the "systemctl preset-all" into the %post of my kickstart as final cleanup, but that feels dirty and wrong.  Similarly, I don't wish to have to have a "Requires: my-dist" in every one of "my-service" and other packages like it.  I've scrutinized fedora-release.spec and didn't see anything all that different than what I have in my-dist.
