mhmm. In PBS we install the templates in /usr/share/proxmox-backup/... (there it makes sense,
because the templates are part of the .deb with the same name).
Using `proxmox-notify` would IMO be not so good. We might have similar notification templates in
both products (e.g. package-updates) which are not necessarily 100% compatible.
Of course we could unify them, but I kinda prefer the flexibility of
having these separate.

A name based on libpve-notify implies that the templates belong to
PVE, which is good. However, that only shifts the problem:
pve-{ha-,}manager still install templates to a location which appears
to be owned by another package, this time libpve-notify...

Thinking about the options, and also about 'user experience' when
adding overridable templates, I think we could just keep on
using 'proxmox-ve' here.

Ah yes, sorry, my packaging knowledge is not yet the best.
A versioned break will be necessary due to the API changes (passing a template name
instead of a title/body) and due to the fact that the template
files must be present.
