That is only required if not using gdm. I think since we force gdm now it
should work as-is.

Yes, but we'd have to amend the etc/pam.d/login file and that
would mean we'd have to add an entire authentication configuration
mechanism to guix (where to allow fingerprint authentication
and where not to allow it is a policy decision done by the
system administrator and should not be hard-coded).
I've found one comment "./sddm.scm: ;; should be factored out into
system-auth" that maybe suggests such a guix configuration already
exists somewhere, but I can't find it.
I'm not sure how to proceed.
