Typically, service files shipped by upstream should use something like
.service.in files and some autofoo magic to replace the used paths with
what has been specified/detected by configure. This is usually simple to do.

As for Debian, when shipping both systemd service files and LSB/SysV
init scripts, you should also make sure that the names align.

E.g. the SysV init scripts are named smbd and nmbd yet the upstream
service files are named nmb.service and smb.service. One can either
rename the service files or ship a symlink, to align the names.

If you are interested in reenabling systemd support, feel free to
contact us.
We are happy to help/review the changes.
