No, all you are supposed to do in your .install files is to use the 
correct paths
/usr/lib/systemd/system/foo.service
/usr/lib/sysusers.d/foo.conf
/usr/lib/tmpfile.d/foo.conf

The upstream build system is supposed to install the files directly into 
those paths as they are defined in /usr/share/pkgconfig/systemd.pc.
Those paths should be queried by the build system via pkgconfig and not 
be hard-coded.

If it doesn't do that, then there is a bug in the upstream build system 
and you should report it as such to upstream.
This is *not* a Debian packaging issue!
