I agree, this is the best thing to do.
The package is not broken enough to require a fix, it's actually not 
really broken it's only not enabling/starting system unit which, I 
believe, is not the main use of MPD anyway.

In the mean time, I saved the patch (putting the unit files where 
systemd.pc says) in a dedicated branch on salsa. It's also 
forwarded/merged upstream as documented in patch header.

If nobody step in, I'll downgrade #1034236 to important by the end of 
next week. Please go ahead if you feel we should hurry.

cheers
