In /etc/systemd/system, I have created a directory:

radvd.service.d/

which contains "useold.conf" :

[Service] ExecStart=/usr/sbin/radvd.old --nodaemon $RADVD_OPTIONS

(I want to use an old binary, see bug#920156).

After having reloaded systemd, I try to start radvd:

# systemctl start radvd Failed to start radvd.service: Unit radvd.service failed to load: Invalid argument. See system logs and 'systemctl status radvd.service' for details.

Unfortunately, the log and the journal and 'systemctl status' all give absolutely no indications about the invalid argument?

I have found some older mailing list postings where it is said the 'ExecStart' cannot be overridden, but that problem seems to have been solved later, see e.g. https://wiki.debian.org/systemd/Packaging:

"New packages should advise their users to override the ExecStart line by dropping a file like this in /etc/systemd/system/foo.service.d/local.conf".

Try deleting it first

ExecStart= ExecStart=/usr/sbin/radvd.old --nodaemon $RADVD_OPTIONS
