Christian, Thanks for reporting this. I've pushed a fix for this to the

Title:
  Init script for glance-api ignores additional config files

Bug description:
  The init script at /etc/init.d/glance-api (likely created by the
  openstack-pkg-tools) uses the

  ```
  PROJECT_NAME=glance
  NAME=${PROJECT_NAME}-api
  CONFIG_FILE=/etc/${PROJECT_NAME}/${NAME}.conf
  ```

  to later add the daemon-arg ``--config-file /etc/glance/glance-
  api.conf``

  
  This unfortunately causes Glance (or oslo_config in particular, see https://docs.openstack.org/oslo.config/latest/configuration/options.html#default) to ignore all other config files.
  While multiple config files might not be necessary per se, Glance uses them at least since https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/glance/+/527635 and the user documentation talks about placing various settings into ``glance-image-import.conf`` (https://docs.openstack.org/glance/latest/admin/interoperable-image-import.html#configuring-the-web-download-method)

  This issue of using config-file vs. config-dir has been "fixed" for
  the DevStack
  (https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/devstack/+/625628) and there
  were other observations of a similar issue in e.g.
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/glance/+bug/1775782.

  With multiple config files being actively used by glance switching to
  ``config-dir`` or at least allow adding multiple config files (see
  default list:
  https://opendev.org/openstack/glance/src/branch/master/glance/common/wsgi_app.py#L37)
  is necessary.
