Technical nit: No, unit files aren't. AIUI a package would ship its unit file in /lib/systemd/system (i.e. RedHat-style). If you need to override it, you're of course free to copy it to /etc/systemd/system and make the necessary adjustments. You will not, however, get a conffile update prompt when the system file changes (e.g. to update your own local copy to incorporate the fix). Kind regards Philipp Kern
