Unless I am missing something, having dh_installsystemd look at the
service files in /usr/lib is the only viable solution for bullseye ->
bookworm. We could fix individual packages that didn't include those
files in bullseye, but for all the others we are unable to move the
files from /usr/lib to /lib.
