Great, so if I am provided with service files that do not properly work 
- like the clamav case - I need to overwrite them every time, or follow 
your pointer - of which I was not aware. Luckily I always keep a backup 
of the changed service files, learned my lessons early from former 
projects who thought they knew what service file is good for me.
