Package: mariadb-server
Version: 10.1.23-8
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
my data folder for MariaDB databases is under /home file system which is the
biggest file system on my workstation. When upgrading from Jessie to Stretch I
set ProtectHome=false in /lib/systemd/system/mariadb.service but after
upgrading Mariadb-server package today again ProtectHome was set to true. I
don't know the reason for introducing this configuration parameter but I would
like my choice of ProtectHome value to be remembered somehow during package
upgrade.

Files in /lib/systemd/system (in fact, everything in /lib, /usr, and so
on) are overwritten on package upgrade by design. It is usually user
error to change these manually. If you want to make a change, you must
override it in /etc/systemd/system/ instead. Then your customizations
will remain on upgrade. See systemd.unit(5) for details. To just
override one setting, you can do it in
/etc/systemd/system/mariadb.service.d/. See the "Overriding vendor
settings" section in the manpage for details.
I hope that helps. Since what you describe is by design, I'm closing
this bug.
