While this is technically true, package provided service files are (or
at least should be) in /usr/lib/systemd/{system|user}/ only.
The .service files in /etc are there only because the admin put them
there, either to 1) provide a .service file for a service that doesn't
provide its own or 2) to override the /usr/lib version.
In both cases 'ln -sf' would lead to data loss.
For 1), just move the file out of the way or rename it to something that
doesn't end in .service. For 2) move the file out of the way and *then*
create the symlink to /dev/null [1], no '-f' needed.
[1] or just use 'systemctl mask <service>', which does the same.
Kind regards,
Andrei
