Hum, so I must say that I am not enthusiastic about the idea, but I do
see your usecase, and I can't come up with a reason to reject such a
patch...

Hence, go ahead, I'll merge a good patch for it.

Please try to add this generically to conf-parser.c, but make it
optional, so that can disable this for example for unit files, where we
actually want to keep track of the drop-ins (and already do that) and
thus wouldnt use the generic version anyway... Or in other words, if we
add this for logind, we need to add it for journald, timesyncd,
... too...
