Units of installed packages go in lib, per systemd.unit(5)

The addition of a user unit should also be considered.  Here is an example:

[Unit]
Description=GNU Emacs daemon
Documentation=man:emacs(1) info:Emacs

[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStart=/usr/bin/emacs --daemon
ExecStop=/usr/bin/emacsclient --eval "(kill-emacs)"

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
