This actually works better for on Guix System than on a foreign distro

(ins)efraim@3900XT ~/workspace/guix$ /gnu/store/khpdv70slxmvrla1q8lnkkq1cxv9pm75-systemd-247/bin/loginctl -H g4 list-sessions
SESSION  UID USER   SEAT  TTY
      1  118 sddm   seat0
  12683 1000 efraim seat0 tty2
     13 1000 efraim seat0 tty3
  15005 1000 efraim       pts/2

4 sessions listed.
(ins)efraim@3900XT ~/workspace/guix$ loginctl -H g4 list-sessions
bash: line 1: elogind-stdio-bridge: command not found

That said, the package definitely needs some work. The source URI is
autogenerated, we shouldn't need glibc as an input, and I'm guessing
that setting all the config directories to out would cause problems. Not
to mention the extra bits that don't add any value to Guix System.
