We currently do not show runtime generated unit files among the output
of "systemctl list-unit-files", but it would probably make sense if we
would. Unit files that are automatically generated for SysV scripts
are of this kind, and thus not visible in "systemctl list-unit-files".

Please file a github issue requesting support for listing such
generated files in "systemctl list-unit-files". 

Thanks,

Lennart
