After experimenting some more, I can see that if there's no [Install] section and the unit is enabled by putting it into /usr/lib/systemd/*/*.target.wants, then is-enabled is static, and `systemctl enable` does nothing and explains the situation. Which makes me think that one should either add the [Install] section, or enable a unit via /usr/lib/systemd/*/*.target.wants. If both are done, is-enabled is disabled, and one can enable it twice (provide a second route). Which probably is not particularly bad, but is confusing.
