No, it is not. You must do it manually, once you've made all the
changes you plan to make. Systemd is pretty powerful, but it doesn't
read your mind.

No. All changes the local administrator makes should go under
/etc/systemd because you risk updates over-writing things in
/lib/systemd and elsewhere.
As for dh_installsystemd, the first paragraph of the man page for it
says,
dh_installsystemd is a debhelper program that is responsible for
installing package maintainer supplied systemd unit files.
Are you doing this as a package maintainer?
