I notice there is also %{_datadir}/dbus-1/system.d/. Not sure about the history behind these two locations, but how about we put it there instead?

That is allowed if you add a comment to the spec file, but it's discouraged: """ As a rule of thumb, use %config(noreplace) instead of plain %config unless your best, educated guess is that doing so will break things. In other words, think hard before overwriting local changes in configuration files on package upgrades. An example case when /not/ to use noreplace is when a package’s configuration file changes so that the new package revision wouldn’t work with the config file from the previous package revision. Whenever plain %config is used, add a brief comment to the specfile explaining why. """ Basically users won't ever be able to safely edit this file if you replace their changes on package upgrade. Seems better for low-memory-monitor to assume default values for anything it doesn't find in its configuration file, which you probably do already anyway. But if you really want to replace it despite that guidance, you can add a comment. > That expands to: > %systemd_requires \ > Requires(post): systemd \ > Requires(preun): systemd \ > Requires(postun): systemd \ > %{nil} > > Which I think is what we want. Or am I missing something? Final sentence here: """ If package scriptlets call other systemd tools, for example systemd-tmpfiles, the package SHOULD declare appropriate dependencies. The %systemd_requires macro is a shortcut to require systemd for the %pre, %post, and %postun scriptlets. Note that those dependencies are not required for the %systemd_{post,preun,postun_with_restart,user_post,user_preun} macros listed above.
