Elogin doesn't start properly |

On my GuixSD VM (Guix release 0.13) elogind doesn't start at startup,
despite (elogind-service) being used in config.scm. I am not using
Xorg or a desktop manager like Slim.
Elogind only starts when loginctl is executed as loginctl activates
elogind via DBus, meaning that it doesn't record any logins before
loginctl is run. I don't believe that this is intended; my Arch Linux
install doesn't miss any logins.
My config.scm:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(services (cons* ;; Networking
(service wpa-supplicant-service-type)
(service connman-service-type (connman-configuration))
(service tlp-service-type)

Hi,
(Please keep address@hidden Cc’d.)

Good point, we should probably just start it from the Shepherd. Done:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=94a881178af9a9a918ce6de55641daa245c92e73
Let me know if there are still problems.
For the record, I tested with this config:
diff --git a/gnu/system/examples/bare-bones.tmpl
