can I ask a more generic question ?

How should alias and drop-in work ? for all intent and purpose, 
default.target is an alias for multi-user.target (or other)

should alias drop-ins be loaded when we start an alias but not the main 
names ? should all drop-ins from all alias be used ? only the one for 
the one we call ? should we skip drop-ins for the  main name ?

afaik this is an interesting question that is not documented anywhere...
