So configure.ac contains this:
```
AC_ARG_WITH(systemd-service,
AS_HELP_STRING([--with-systemd-service=PATH],
[Install systemd service file in given path. The default is no, but if
specified, the default path is /usr/lib/systemd/system.]),
```
So it hard-codes a default path, rather than check with systemd.pc.....
I think that could be fixed to actually use the path from systemd.pc
instead.
Alternatively you could ofcourse use the existing mechanism
and extend the --with-systemd-service you're already passing in
debian/rules to actually include the correct path as an argument.
eg.
```
SYSTEMDSYSTEMUNITDIR=$(shell pkg-config --variable=systemdsystemunitdir systemd)
[...]
--with-systemd-service=$(SYSTEMDSYSTEMUNITDIR) \
[...]
```
Note: do not forget to add pkg-config and systemd (for systemd.pc) to
build-deps.
