Did not noticed any... guix system reconfigure just finished OK.

/etc/lsh/host-key

Well it is mostly there as there is and option
[#:host-key "/etc/lsh/host-key"]
Just when one tries to start lshd manually it first prints it needs 
the yarrow seed, then host key in proper location etc. Host key location 
is different.

I would suggest improving the
http://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/guix.html#Using-the-Configuration-System
example and incorporating most of the options in the configuration example 
as e.g. starting lsh-service without [#:initialize? #f] for the first 
time makes no sense. Also it could be present in the config template in 
the distribution itself.

This would help most of us not very familiar with all the details to do a 
fluent installation.
