No. The packages will only update files in /usr/lib/systemd/system/. If you drop a file, /etc/systemd/system/crond.service, it will override the one in /usr/lib/systemd. You'll get no benefit from fixes in a package. If you use /etc/systemd/system/cron.d/service.d/override.conf, the changes in the override.conf will override the contents of /usr/lib/systemd/system/crond.service. So any fixes that appear in a package update will only affect parts of the unit you didn't override. -- Jonathan Billings <billings at negate.org>
