With split-usr enabled, overrides for system service units go in /lib/systemd/system/foo.service.d. With split-usr disabled, overrides for system services units go in /usr/lib/systemd/system/foo.service.d. Overrides for user service units would always go in /usr/lib/systemd/user/foo.service.d. We will be phasing out split-usr later this year due to pressure from systemd upstream to stop supporting it. Anyway, there are already functions to get the correct path based on pkg-config in the systemd.eclass.
