Anything inside /usr should only ever be modified by the package manager, not by the root user, or any other user for that matter.
If you want to make system wide changes, make them in /etc. If you want to make user specific changes, make them in $HOME/.config, $HOME/.local. Your package manager should never overwrite anything in /etc or $HOME. If it does, it's a bug.
I'll admit something; I forgot where the service files were (I don't use systemd often). So, in my unix wisdom I used `find` to find the files ending with 'service'. The only ones that came up were in /usr/lib
You're right, I'd typically never edit files in /usr. But I wasn't sure how else to do it at the time.
