In the debian package I ship:

/usr/lib/systemd/user/sockets.target.wants/pulseaudio.socket ->
../pulseaudio.socket

This means that the socket can't be disabled (in the systemd sense) by
users, but pulseaudio can be disabled by masking.

I don't think there is any glue between package managers (in any
distribution) and user services. IOW, nobody is calling `systemctl
--user preset-all` or similar.
