Are you sure?

Systemd itself does indeed search /usr/lib/systemd/system . Our
internal/Debian tooling though
(dh_installsystemd/invoke-rc.d/service/...) currently only handles files
from /lib/systemd (mostly for historical reasons where a /usr on a
separate partition mounted during late boot was still supported).

So, theoretically, you can install unit files in /usr/lib/systemd/system
and systemd will process them. What you don't get is full Debian
integration.

Regards,
Michael
