Fwiw, just as an empirical datapoint here: I run Arch linux, which is pretty
much a bleeding edge distro, and I keep it up to date every 5-10 days.
On my system, numerous non-core packages have been installed, and so far,
among those which provide user systemd service units, none have installed the
service unit files in /usr/local/lib/systemd.

(In fact, there isn't even a /usr/local/lib/systemd directory on my system.)

Not implying that this "proves" anything at all about installation conventions,
just tossing it out as an empircal observation in case it may be of use.
