For systemd, that could be service definition files.

Not relevant to the whole overarching discussion, but to my understanding, that might be better managed by distribution / OS maintainers, rather than developers. When thinking about programs like daemons, or other similar pieces on a bigger system, with all the variety of systems, init systems, and programs around, who best to do it than the people that are ultimately orchestrating the whole ecosystem.
