According to the dbus-daemon man page, if a .service file exists in two 
<servicedir> then the last <servicedir> to appear in the config file 
wins. So in the config file the servicedir are in order from lowest to 
highest precedence, that would be system dirs -> user dirs as you went 
down in the file.

Whether the code corresponds to the docs, I don't know ;-)
