Why are we doing this link? In all other systemd service installation,
we:

 1/ install to /usr/lib/systemd/system/ when the service file has not
    been installed by the package build system itself.

 2/ create a symlink
    from /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/<foo>.service
    to /usr/lib/systemd/system/rsyslog.service

Why would we need this additional symlink here?

(Remember that when you're talking to me, you're talking to a complete
system newbie.)

Thanks,

Thomas
