For those of you like me, who have trouble setting up the signing key,
here is a snippet that you can use to set up substitutes from bordeaux.guix.gnu.org:


#BEGIN_SRC scheme
(define %my-desktop-services
  (modify-services
      %desktop-services
    (guix-service-type
     config =>
     (guix-configuration
      (inherit config)
      (substitute-urls
       (append (list "https://bordeaux.guix.gnu.org/")
               %default-substitute-urls))
      (authorized-keys
       (append
        (list
         (plain-file
                     "bordeaux.guix.gnu.org.signing.key"
                     "
(public-key
 (ecc
  (curve Ed25519)
  (q #7D602902D3A2DBB83F8A0FB98602A754C5493B0B778C8D1DD4E0F41DE14DE34F#)
  )
 )"))
        %default-authorized-guix-keys))))))


(operating-system
    ...
    (services (append (list (service dhcp-client-service-type)
                            (service openssh-service-type
                                     (openssh-configuration
                                      (openssh openssh-sans-x)
                                      (port-number 2222))))
                      %my-desktop-services)))

#+END_SRC

P.S.  Thanks to Christopher for helping me set this up in irc!
