1) Don't have an '[Install]' section in the unit file
2) Mask the service (ln -s /dev/null /etc/systemd/system/<foo>.service)
3) Don't install the service file/service binary at all
4) ExecStartPre=/bin/false
5) ... OK, this is rapidly becoming silly

What exactly are you trying to accomplish? Are you intending the
enable-prevention to be done at the package level or the administrator
level?
