I'd think that should be in nut-monitor package right?
But then I realized:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Aug 5 10:32 /lib/systemd/system/nut-client.service -> nut-monitor.service
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 253 Aug 5 10:32 /lib/systemd/system/nut-monitor.service
By default it enters (but not breaks) a disabled by default mode.

I'd think that should maybe be an alias and a proper package dependency.
But lets take that aside for a while.
Install/Re-Install/Upgrade seem to be fixed at this version.
Therefore I'll reference this bug at an upcoming merge.
Continuing "more headscratchers":
/lib/systemd/ system/ nut-monitor. service belongs to nut-clients:
# dpkg -S /lib/systemd/ system/ nut-monitor. service system/ nut-monitor. service
nut-client: /lib/systemd/
