+ <para>Instanced service units (i.e. service units with an <literal>@</literal> in their name) are assigned by
+ default a per-template slice unit (see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.slice</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>), named after the
+ template unit, containing all instances of the specific template. This slice is normally stopped at shutdown,
+ together with all template instances. If that is not desired, set <varname>DefaultDependencies=no</varname> in the
+ template unit, and either define your own per-template slice unit file that also sets
+ <varname>DefaultDependencies=no</varname>, or set <varname>Slice=system.slice</varname> (or another suitable slice)
