As an update, I was misplacing the file, after help from TingPing on 
https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/1902 I could make it work by 
placing the .service file at /app/share/dbus-1/services/
org.salutatoi.SAT.service and the Exec line doesn't need to be modified.

Thanks a lot to Ryan Gonzalez  and TingPing, my packages start to be 
usable. I now need to manage metadata, screenshots and icons.
