The unit file did point to /usr/local/bin.  I contacted upstream and
they changed it to /usr/bin.  I was then led to believe that the path
had to be generated during the build process as I've mentioned
previously and it's not satisfactory to include a manually written unit
file with the path already set.  If it is I'll inform upstream and this
issue can be closed.
