Hi Maxime,
sorry for this late reply!
I solved my problem with an ugly workaround: installing the Debian
provided guix package and temporarily using that updated daemon in the
systemd service, so I was able to upgrade to an updated Guix (since the
package in Debian is not up to date with upstream)

No, I was not using the Debian provided package, I installed from the
upstream Guix binary

Wow! I did not get it before your suggestion! :-O
IMHO this should be the default way to upgrade root's (or any othe user
with an out of date Guix) guix-daemon installation
