Indeed no maintainer should be bothered with having his package install a unit file, though two points. A maintainer usually dislikes adding something contributed by a user that he doesn't know about / can't verify . So letting systemd herd picking unit files and committing them I think is reasonable. The chance for screwing with a package by just adding the unit file are close to zero even if not familiar with the package. The other thing is those unit files really should come from upstream and other distributions urge their developers to work with upstream [1] Therefore I'd require an upstream bug for each unit that we add.
