Instead of modifying the shipped unit file + dpkg-* you can also replace
specific unit file settings using the so called drop-in files:

systemd.unit man page (debian stable):
> Along with a unit file foo.service, a directory foo.service.d/ may 
> exist. All files with the suffix ".conf" from this directory will be 
> parsed after the file itself is parsed. This is useful to alter or
> add configuration settings to a unit, without having to modify their
> unit files. Make sure that the file that is included has the
> appropriate section headers before any directive.
