fwiw, i'd like to see this capability for dh-systemd as well.

One alternative available now is to have the package manually ship a
symlink in /etc/systemd/user/default.target.wants/$PKGNAME.service
(pointing to /usr/lib/systemd/user/$PKGNAME.service, assuming the user
service wants to be installed in default.target), but shipping this
symlink as a config file seems a little bit strange, and wouldn't be
safely undoable by "systemctl --global disable my-user-unit" (it'd just
get re-added on upgrade, i think).

It'd be nice to have something more generalized, which can be safely and
cleanly overridden by both the admin and by individual users.
