Hi Vagrant,

thanks for the prompt fix! I consider to be sufficiently fixed given
that this line wasn't needed before and hence seems to be optional
anyways.

Sorry, since I have no idea for what a package manager needs an init
script (or its own user, except maybe for privilege separation during
downloads), I have no idea what actually an init script should do
here.

Looking at /usr/lib/sysusers.d/guix-daemon.conf it seems as if guix
needs some kind of daemon?!? That's unexpected.

I'm also not convinced by guix' concepts (and containing a daemon just
added one more argument against guix) and just installed it to maybe
occasionally understand more if its something useful for me or not.

So I currently neither consider myself a regular user nor a potential
future contributor besides reporting obvious packaging-related bugs
like this one.

I see.

Ok for me.

Would be fine for me.

I though wonder if a "Recommends: systemd" or "Suggests: systemd"
would make sense here.
