Don't hate it, better learn to use it:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/systemd#Drop-in_files

Just override the default conf and update won't break it.

Also, maybe it's time to move Your mailstore under /var/something... I
guess even more restrictions will be applied on /usr in the future. If
You want to do things in the UNIX way then first make sure You know what
should go under /usr and what not ;)
