An option doesn't seem like the right way to handle this. It would complicate configuration parsing and documentation for little benefit, and then we'd still need the package to ship a Debian-specific drop-in or something like that. The warning itself has no obvious benefit to users, given that almost everyone seeing it will be using a distribution and thus be un-able to fix it (without breaking their package managers). This makes me think that the feature exists mostly to pressure distributors, and that an up-stream discussion is not likely to be productive. I conclude that it's Debian that needs to make the decision: either merge the directories as the systemd developers want, or carry a patch to disable the warning. Having a Debian package warn that the system follows the Debian-mandated layout is not reasonable. If you still don't agree with patching systemd, I guess this will need to be reported against the debian-policy package. I'll do that if you don't want to. -- Michael
