I think it would be a good idea to install the symlink with "make install", with a configure option to disable this. My impression is that with system services it's frowned upon to forcibly enable units - distributions are expected to use the preset mechanism instead - but if the preset mechanism doesn't work (or isn't used) with user services, it seems better to enable the service by default. I probably won't work on this in the near future, however. Would you like to write a patch? -- Tanu https://liberapay.com/tanuk https://www.patreon.com/tanuk
