Hey, Marius:

I'm resurrecting this thread. :)

I'm getting GuixSD set up on an X200 now, and this is something that I'm
interested in getting resolved.  For the time being, I'm using the
symlink workaround that you suggested.

If you're still interested in doing this---great!  Otherwise, I'm
tight on time and am already deep in a GuixSD crash-course, so I'd
appreciate any sort of mentoring/direction to get this working properly
and in a manner consistent with Guix/GuixSD's philosophy.  If there are
existing service examples that demonstrate the same core concept, I'd be
happy to play around with that.

But I'd need to know what approach you'd like to take to solving
this.  Could you provide some more detail?

Thanks!
