This is mostly a cosmetical message you can safely ignore. Moreover this has long been fixed and is
not displayed on any current systemd version.

That's not a valid unit file name. On systemd unit files are named in
a very strict fashion, and this is documented. A service unit file
name must be suffixed with ".service" and a target unit file name must
be suffixed with ".target". The suffix ".target.in" is not valid for a
unit file.

Yes, the error message could be better.
