Such a tool would certainly be very useful, but doing it right would be
fairly hard, as far as I see.

And it would require assistance from at least the package maintainer, to
mark in which versions the unit file under /lib changed, so that it can
trigger only when appropriate and not on every upgrade.

(And there's possibly other corner cases to consider, but they escape me
right now..)
