Description
Hi, currently everytime hostd upgrade, it will overwrite hostd.service file in /etc/systemd/system/hostd.service file.
I believe there are better options:
- Show user the diff / ask user what to do with it.
- When upgrade in non interactive mode - it should left previous hostd.service version untouch and maybe create hostd.service-dpkg file (for newer version - I'm not sure what is the best practice on debian).

Research direction
Start by reviewing how the Debian package installs and upgrades /etc/systemd/system/hostd.service, including behavior in interactive and non-interactive upgrades. Compare Debian's handling of locally modified configuration files with the requested alternatives. Done means the upgrade behavior is defined for both modes and avoids silently overwriting a customized service file.
