Why wouldn't the mysql/postgres/mariadb packager have a section as follows:
[Install]
Alias=database.service

Then you could have other services reference the dependency on database.service.  I think this would work much like the display-manager.service.  Not everyone uses gdm, some use lightdm, kdm, etc.  I expect it work work the same way.
