it picks up from the directory? I mean, what if [Journal] means
"Forget everything, we're starting journal options now"? The last
thing you'd want to do is put in a [Journal] line in that case and
forget all the previous settings :-).

When it comes to configuration using the .d/ directories, I believe it is a "sticky" scheme. The first time the option is set, it becomes sticky and it is not overridden later. That's why applications read .d/ configuration files first (and in a deterministic order, like 10-*.conf before 50-*.conf files), and then fallback to the package's or maintainer's configuration options for missing options.
