> Hello, this is not a bug report, but a feature request.
>
> I see some inconsistency in specifying text / text files in an
> operating-system declaration:
>
> - ‘sudoers’ and ‘issue’ want plain strings;
>
> - ‘hosts-file’ and ‘mingetty-service’ (#:motd argument) want a
>   'text-file' monadic procedure;
>
> - some other services (‘syslog-service’, ‘lirc-service’, ...) want file
>   names (of the configuration files).
>
> As for me, I prefer the latter variant.  But I think the best would be
> to add support for any of the above possibilities for all services or
> operating-system fields.
