The "masking" that you remember, is relevant for D-Bus activated service
files, which don't have an explicit socket unit (yet, will change with
the switch to kdbus).

As for .socket units: they should be treated like .service units and
started and stopped at the same time.
You just need to keep the ordering in mind.
If a package contains foo.service and foo.socket unit, you need to make
sure foo.socket is stopped before the foo.service (on remove/upgrade).

I think that's all there is to it.

I think it shouldn't be to hard to add.

Cheers,
Michael
