Interesting.  Thank you for checking.  So maybe setting
CONFIG_USB_MOUSE=n in the kernel config is the wrong way.  I installed
Ubuntu and they just have a file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
containing the lines

# these drivers are very simple, the HID drivers are usually preferred
blacklist usbmouse
blacklist usbkbd

I wonder if a default blacklist file would be more like the Guix way.
Or default blacklist kernel-arguments?  I remember a discussion by
Danny Milosavljevic and Brice Waegeneire about this at
<https://bugs.gnu.org/40274#128>.  All these avoid recompiling the
linux-libre package.

Danny, Brice, I’m putting you in Cc, maybe you have an opinion on
this?  I suppose I should not change %default-extra-linux-options.

Regards,
Florian
