I applied this patch locally on top of patch 1/4 and tested it, I can
confirm that it works and passes https://issues.guix.gnu.org/47541, as
opposed to my approach :-).

Here's a new patch series that adds your 1&4 patches, updated to 7.2.0
and then updates dependent packages.  I've also extended the system test
so that it can catch issues with the /var and /etc runtime directories.

I've not looked at patches 2&3, on the service itself yet though.

Anyways, WDYT? OK to commit?

Thanks,
Pierre
