Sure, but all the components read the credentials for the db from ~/.mythtv/
config.xml. I don't know where it is placed for user mythtv but the file has to
be somewhere. All other settings are in the db.

Yep, creatig a user user-service or just systemctl --edit and changing the
user leads to the same target. It would be great to be able to change the
running user from the EnvironmentFile, but Lennard didn't think so.

I thought backports is meant for pkg's that have a version in normal testing
branch. But I don't care from where I install them. Just had a little more
time than expected (working in fair-construction, so bad times these days) and
gave it a short test to let you know it's no big deal.
