I have a guess which you can perhaps verify. The default is for brltty to be 
put into /bin/, but I believe I've heard that Debian (and, therefore, also 
Ubuntu) puts it into /sbin/. If this is correct, then that may be the reason 
that systemd isn't starting it for you. Those distributions may have altered 
the systemd unit to start brltty from within /sbin/, wehreas a home-built 
brltty would be putting it into /bin/.

I myself don't see having different distributions put brltty into different 
places is helpful, so maybe this is a good time to rediscuss the issue.
