I finished and pushed this patch to master a week ago. So, it is ready
for wider use! :-)

After this patch, I have started using this on my home server. The
server runs Parabola. I can't migrate all services immediately to
Guix. So, I have a Guix container running inside Parabola that runs some
of the services and the host Parabola runs the rest. Once I migrate all
services to the Guix container, I will simply replace Parabola with a
full Guix installation.
