  I did not know that. It is very interesting.

But, is there a way to be notified at upgrade time that the
system service file has been modified when there is local
(partial or full) changes ?
  As a small workaround, I think I will put symlinks such as
/lib/systemd/[perhaps sub-directory, to check] -> /etc/systemd/lib/[...]
  This way, systemd config files and their changes will be, at least,
recorded by etckeeper.
