Thanks all who replied with good advice. I think I'll go for the (short) local.conf solution. I don't like messing around with all separate files in conf.d. As long as they don't conflict with my settings, it will be OK.

For example, let's say you have single config file and only single line differs from default configuration - say "auth_verbose". When you upgrade, the packaging system tells you "the configuration was changed" and you need to either manually figure out all changes and apply them to your configuration or lose your own configuration changes (or attempt a 3-way merge)
I prefer putting all of mine in one file in conf.d named 99-myconfig.conf.
This causes this file to be loaded last, so it overwrites any settings defined in the other config files.
