This makes sense to me. If you pack just some packages, you get the
binaries/libs/whatever but no supporting structure. If you pack a
service or a system, you get the supporting structure to make it able to
run.
Then it's a matter of documenting this appropriately and making it
discoverable. For example, something I want to do is set up an action in
my CI that runs a Postgres db and a Rails service, then kicks off some
tests. So how do I figure out what Guix command to run so that I can get
Postgres and Rails into a Docker image, not just as bare minimal
binaries but as services that I can actually run?
