Do you mean, "installing directly under /usr/lib/systemd/system/*.wants
should be an error"? It was the actual question.

I do not think there is single answer in all cases. IMHO it is
perfectly valid to use /usr/lib/systemd/system/*.wants to express
inter-services dependencies. If service A needs services B and C to
work, they should be installed as /usr/lib/systemd/A.wants, so starting
A also transparently starts them.
