That's subjective.  I don't think we should ever editorialise if 
that's what you mean: Guix service configuration wrappers should 
strictly wrap, not tweak defaults on a (majority) whim.

However, here our wrapping is wrong.  Thanks for making me look 
into it.

From upstream's change log:

  The action that elogind takes when the lid is closed and the
  machine is connected to external power can now be configured
  using HandleLidSwitchExternalPower= in logind.conf. Previously,
  this action was determined by HandleLidSwitch=, and, for
  backwards compatibility, is still is, if
  HandleLidSwitchExternalPower= is not explicitly set.

Whilst we:

  ("HandleLidSwitchExternalPower"
    (handle-action elogind-handle-lid-switch-external-power))

always ‘explicitly set’ HandleLidSwitchExternalPower, by default 
to ‘ignore’, breaking that intention.

elogind-handle-lid-switch-external-power should not emit a 
directive if unset.  In fact, all directives and all services 
should do that by default, *not* hard-code upstream's default at 
an arbitrary point in time.

Unfortunately most do, making subtle bugs like these more likely.

I didn't find any evidence for this in the commit log but didn't 
search exhaustively.

Kind regards,
