As discussed on IRC: dropped altogether, replaced with attached patch.

Hmm.  I think it's complicated...No, it was complicated.  ETC depends on
%activatation which depends on %boot, but those now work; so I can
reorder!

Reordered, added to hurd-default-essential-services in compliance with
the documentation.

OK.  Eh... ok. ;-)

Good question!  Yeah...this started out as a more formalized copy of the
gnu/system/hurd.scm hack and it used to be complicated; services didn't
cross build, for example.

Also, it felt good to start really minimalistic, especially because of
the cross build troubles.

I seemed to remember that on top of that there was a Hurd build problem,
but I think that must have been sudo and it's easy to disable.

Phew, I didn't expect so much work; but also not so much cleanup so
soon.

Thanks, Janneke

Subject: [PATCH] services: Support etc-service for the Hurd.

* gnu/system.scm (operating-system-etc-service): Cater for missing nsswitch
and missing sudoers-file.  For the Hurd, add "login" and "motd".
(hurd-default-essential-services): Add operating-system-etc-service.
