Despite having a bunch of procedures for making an SSH service type,
and exporting the symbol "openssh-service" from (gnu services ssh),
there is no openssh-service defined. Not sure how this code made it
in.

This is on purpose. :-) The manual gives this example:
(service openssh-service-type
(openssh-configuration
(x11-forwarding? #t)
(permit-root-login 'without-password)))
and that’s how it should be used. (See
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2016-10/msg00095.html>.)
In recent service submissions, I’ve suggested that we stop adding
‘foo-service’ procedures and instead directly expose the
‘foo-service-type’ and ‘foo-configuration’ records.
The rationale is that the service type and config records have to be
exposed anyway if we want users to be able to customize services (with
‘modify-services’), to remove services from a list, and so on.
The downside is that it’s more typing, but I think that’s reasonable.
Thoughts?
Ludo’.
