how will you do that?

"systemctl" does only symlinks as default
if you replace the symlink with your changed unit-file you are
forking it and the one from the package is not used any longer
and if there are added ExecStartPost/ExecStartBefore in a
future update you have to change your unit-file

this problem is exactly the question from the original post

stat /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/httpd.service
Datei: „/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/httpd.service“ -> „/lib/systemd/system/httpd.service“
