[systemd-devel] Is there a way to override the "Where" option in mount units?

[Jérémy Rosen]

you could mask the original unit and symlink it with a new name in /etc

you could probably use Alias= in the [Install] section to have that 
automated at install time... not sure if that would work, some testing 
is needed.
