I thought that my system's configuration was in /etc/ and safely handled
with etckeeper until I added some systemd unit files, which truly live in
/lib/systemd and I want to make it easy to follow changes there.
Two changes, one to enable daily to run with any `-d /path/to` and one to
add /lib/systemd to the service file in /lib/systemd ... which might be
wrong for some users and so is commented out with adjacent instructions to
enable.
versus current HEAD 9b5c5b1ff500a8a3770e4b77535df8840633faf8 I have:
