So brltty-device at .service is missing.

Well ... it actually can't be (on both counts).

Which environment variables? What it does depend on is variables provided by
pkg-config. Perhaps this is another case of gentoo having bad data in its .pc
files - in this case, systemd's. The relevant systemd.pc variables are
sysusersdir and tmpfilesdir.
