I think the best way to address this is to have packages ship unit override
files instead of unit files themselves which enable these options. For example,
instead of Gentoo shipping a modified miniflux.service unit file, we can instead
install a file to /etc/system/miniflux.service.d/00gentoo.conf using the
existing systemd_install_serviced helper in systemd.eclass which enables these
options.
Wouldn't the proper place for overrides installed by a distributions
package manager be
/usr/lib/systemd/system/miniflux.service.d/gentoo.conf
These files are meant to be modifiable by the sysadmin, so they don't
belong in /usr.
While then can not be modified, settings made in /usr/lib/systemd/system
can be overridden by the sysadmin by placing a file in /etc/systemd/system.
I am not aware of a reason why a package manger should install systemd
configuration files under /etc.
