I ran into this problem as well. It is indeed the symlink! There is an
RFE filed for this:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1014311
You don't have to create the entire file either though, it turns out.
It is possible to inherit a unit in a unit, so you could create a unit
that just inherits the one from /usr/lib. I've never tried this with a
user unit, but I suspect it would work. Read the section "Example 2.
Overriding vendor settings" at the end of this page:
