I guess the complication arises from the fact that
dh_installinit/invoke-rc.d directly handles systemd service files if the
SysV init script and service file name match.
dh_installsystemd only handles those unit files for which no
corresponding SysV init script exists.

I think the solutions for this could be, to let dh_installsystemd handle
all systemd unit files.
dh_installinit/invoke-rc.d on the other hand would be updated to only
handle SysV init scripts.

In the long run I guess this will be less confusing at is clearer which
tool is responsible for which task and it makes it easier to override
the behaviour in debian/rules.

Felipe has been doing some initial work for enable that kind of
behaviour at
