I don't understand the error... When trying to do (service
openssh-service-type (openssh-configuration))), I get

sys.scm:86:41: sys.scm:86:41: Wrong type to apply: #<syntax-transformer
openssh-configuration>

and I can't reproduce from the REPL... Why don't we get the same error
with agetty-configuration (removing the openssh service does not make
any error)?

I was too optimistic I guess :)
