Dear Maintainer,

thermald.service is the only place where options such as --poll-interval can
be set, so this file should be considered a package conffile. Because
thermald.service is not a conffile, local changes to the command line are
silently lost on upgrade.

Kind regards,
Ben.

Workaround is to copy thermald.service to (for example)
thermald-custom.service and apply local customisations,
stop+disable+mask thermald.service, and enable+start
thermald-custom.service.

Kind regards,

systemd includes an extensive override mechanism so this should not be
needed and I think this bug can be closed. You can start it like this:

   systemctl edit thermald.service

Then remove all the lines that you don't want to override,
but keep the section headers intact.
