I tend to agree with the principle that a systemd unit file should only be installed on systems which use systemd. I was surprised indeed to see that the dnsmasq git repo contains such a file. Furthermore, the OP itself indicates that different systemd-based distributions will require different systemd units for dnsmasq, which shows that systemd (or upstart, or sysvinit...) files should be managed at the distribution, not upstream application, level.
