Keep in mind, that in most cases you don't need to override the package
provided service file completely by making a full copy of it in
/etc/systemd/system

You can extend/override individual bits via drop-in files (e.g. adding
additional dependencies/orderings). For a service foo.service you create

/etc/systemd/system/foo.service.d/bla.conf
The name is arbitrary, you just need to make sure it has a .conf extension.

Fwiw, systemctl edit (--full) foo.service can help you with that

https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemctl.html#edit%20NAME%E2%80%A6

This is new in stretch, jessie's systemctl doesn't have that yet.
