Btw, see also this thread:

Putting these together (and how about we just go ahead and mandate /run 
and /var/lib), we could have something like:

RuntimeDirectory=yes

That would auto-instantiate /run/$SYSTEMD_UNIT_NAME.

Similarly,
PersistentStateDirectory=yes
would give you /var/lib/$SYSTEMD_UNIT_NAME

Notably, this would help administrators move away from the package 
being the central naming unit and more towards systemd being the basis 
for names.  

(It is confusing that one has to deal with package names, systemd unit 
names, and process names, which can all be the same, closely related, 
or wildly different)
