Systemd services files (stuff in /usr/lib/systemd/*) may be used by
other packages
for heuristics, so if someone is going to test this I suggest to pay
attention to the fact that
other packages may malfunction subtly.

For example, early version of runit-services package used to test for
systemd and sysv services
files to detect whether the equivalent runit service should be
deployed on the system.
The current version of runit-services no longer rely on systemd files
[1] but other catch-all
packages like orphan-sysvinit-scripts may still do that.

Best,
Lorenzo

[1] now it looks for the bin path which is far more robust
