I'd like to suggest installing systemd units unconditionally. At the

Sometimes, though, e. g. in PHP, it means something completely
different. In other cases, it's used to break cyclic dependencies and
in yet other cases, it's actually used to disable systemd integration.

It's a mess.
I can't say I care much if the conf files get installed unconditionally, with a
different option or as a part. Certainly an option name should not be used to
mean three or even two completely different things.
That's what I've been saying with regards to that stupid X option years ago.
The problem with making it a part, is that they are actually configuration
parts. So you then get two different parts that fall in the same category.
Possibly more in the future. So if we stick with the parts categorisation
between data, configuration, libraries, development etc., and we also want to do
this kind of thing, that may call for a hierarchy between parts or something..

That gets complicated quickly. :)
So if I understood that correctly, you want to limit the number of parts "option" to a standardized selection?
