Sure, we can add that. It's simple enough.
And as I tried to explain, it's a codepath that shouldn't be hit in the 
"normal" case anyway as either systemd is installed or the package in 
question is using a newer compat level.

In bullseye, everything is installed in /lib/system/system.
It just feels a bit weird that we now start moving files in a "stable" 
release (I consider bullseye-backports as part of stable).
That's not really a technical concern though.
