The current upstream systemd has an "include" mechanism by which the
unit in /etc can say "copy all keys from the upstream version in /lib,
then set Foo=bar", and also a mechanism by which individual keys in a
unit can be overridden by a separate file in a .d directory
corresponding to that unit. I think the older version currently in
Debian has the former, but not the latter.
I don't know about Upstart. If it doesn't have an equivalent of that
systemd feature, I'm sure one could be added.
