How do I modify a system-level systemd service definition in NixOS?

I want to change the Environment parameter of the systemd-logind service. This isn't covered by the logind options available in configuration.nix, so instead I've tried

  systemd = {
    services.systemd-logind.serviceConfig = {
      environment = {
        SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL = "debug";
      };
    };
  };

However, when building I get an error, which I think is complaining that I'm trying to define systemd-logind in two places - once here and once in the internals of NixOS. The error looks like

$ nixos-rebuild switch --show-trace
building Nix...
building the system configuration...

In light of this, how can I set the Environment parameter in the systemd-logind unit file?

services.systemd-logind.environment.SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL, not services.systemd-logind.serviceConfig.environment.SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL
