It’s confusing, these really are ‘gnome-settings-daemon-service’ and
‘thunar-service’ to enable the polkit rules.  We would expect a
‘gnome-desktop-service’ to bring a full GNOME environment, which can
be done by extend ‘profile-service-type’ with the ‘gnome’ meta-package.
But then the configuable ‘gnome-settings-daemon’ package is duplicate,
roughly speaking we could extracted it from the ‘propagated-inputs’ of
the ‘gnome’ package, which isn’t a straight way…
