this setting is the parent slice. Since the name of a slice
unit implies the parent slice, it is hence redundant to ever
set this parameter directly for slice units.

+ Instanced service units (i.e. service units with an @ in their name) are assigned by
+ default a per-template slice unit (see
+ systemd.slice5), 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 DefaultDependencies=no in the
+ template unit, and either define your own per-template slice unit file that also sets
+ DefaultDependencies=no, or set Slice=system.slice (or another suitable slice)
+ in the template unit. Also see
+ systemd.resource-control5.

Additional implicit dependencies may be added as result of
execution and resource control parameters as documented in
systemd.exec5
