Yes; that fixed this aspect.  In fact, fixing this allows me to
introduce guix system build --target=i586-pc-gnu / guix system vm-image
--target=i586-pc-gnu much earlier, and have those working.

So I have reversed some bits, and now don't need to introduce the
hurd-service->shepherd-service intermediate anymore!

I'll reset wip-hurd-vm with those improvements.

Ah, I believe, I think it's there.  Someone may have overlooked
something.

Thanks!
