I am not sure what precisely you need but systemd actually supports
instantiated services. For example, getty@.service is instantiated 6
times for getty(a)tty1.service, getty(a)tty2.service and so on, from a
single service definition file. As are the fsck service or cryptsetup.
Note that writing around in /usr outside of package installation is not
acceptable, since we want to encourage usage of read-only /usr (and even /).
Just for completeness for anyone following along and needs to deal
with multi-instance init take a look at the systemd.unit manpage
specifically the paragraph starting with "Optionally, units may be
instantiated from a template file at runtime."
There is a description of the multi-instance syntax and an enumeration
of the available template variables such as %i and %I which the
existing getty multi-instance examples use.
