The packaging guidelines actually use 'unit file' as the term
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Systemd#Filesystem_locations
"Packages with systemd unit files *must* put them into %{_unitdir}.
%{_unitdir} evaluates to /lib/systemd/system"
From that I'd say any RPM putting unit files into /etc/systemd/system is
not compliant, regardless of whether its a full unit file, or a override
unit file in a '.d' directory.

A unit file provides configuration for a service (or other type of
systemd resource). So saying 'configuration file, not a unit file'
doesn't make conceptual sense - they're one & the same thing.
