+                Files in <filename>/etc/</filename> override files with the
+                same name in <filename>/usr/lib/</filename> and
+                <filename>/run/</filename>.  Files in
+                <filename>/run/</filename> override files with the same name in
+                <filename>/usr/lib/</filename>. Packages should install their
+                configuration files in <filename>/usr/lib/</filename>. Files in
+                <filename>/etc/</filename> are reserved for the local
+                administrator, who may use this logic to override the
+                configuration files installed by vendor packages. All
+                configuration files are sorted by their filename in
+                lexicographic order, regardless of which of the directories
+                they reside in. If multiple files specify the same option, the
+                entry in the file with the lexicographically latest name will
+                be applied; entries in any <filename>logind.conf.d</filename>
+                file override entries in
+                <filename>/etc/systemd/logind.conf</filename>. It is
+                recommended to prefix all filenames with a two-digit number and
+                a dash, to simplify the ordering of the files.</para>
