Like this:

  (shepherd-service
    (requirements '(dbus-system))
    …)

Search for ‘shepherd-service’ in (gnu services desktop), or run ‘guix
system shepherd-graph’ to see the Shepherd service names.

In fact elogind is automatically started by dbus-daemon on demand, so
there’s no dependency to be expressed here, other than that on
‘dbus-system’.

Thanks,
