Yeah, I'm not sure the difference of xremap wlroots or hyprland
variant. I'm just using our packaged wlroots one and it is working
great now. I suppose we should add the hyprland one, at least when we
have hyprland. Thanks in advance Efraim!

On the xremap side, a service would be great, and luckily we have one
pending: <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/66932>.
