Hello Jan,

That's a good summary of the (complex) situation, thank you!

About that, I'd like to limit at maximum the (if hurd ...) conditionals
in (gnu system image).

So for the "make-device-node", I would propose to "link" it to the
image definition, as proposed in the attached patch.

I'll see if we can do something similar for the "extra-directives" and
the "boot-activation".

Thanks,

Mathieu
