                 <para>Mount points created at runtime (independently of
                 unit files or <filename>/etc/fstab</filename>) will be

                 <para>If a mount point is configured in both
-                <filename>/etc/fstab</filename> and a unit file, the
-                configuration in the latter takes precedence.</para>
+                <filename>/etc/fstab</filename> and a unit file that
+                is stored below <filename>/usr</filename> the former
+                will take precedence. If the unit file is stored below
+                <filename>/etc</filename> it will take
+                precedence. This means: native unit files take
+                precedence over traditional configuration files, but
+                this is superseded by the rule that configuration in
+                <filename>/etc</filename> will always take precedence
+                over configuration in
