“tracks”

Could you add a few words, like whether/how it logs events, what kind of
events it tracks, etc.?

> +; /etc/audit/audit.rules

> +  (audit
> +   (package audit)
> +   "Audit package."))

I suppose this record could eventually be extended, right?

> +(define auditd-service-type
> +  (service-type (name 'auditd)
> +                (extensions
> +                 (list

> +                                     auditd-shepherd-service)))
> +                (default-value (auditd-configuration))))

Please add a ‘description’.

Otherwise LGTM, thanks!
