With this approach, the user has to get the source and configure it,
which is somewhat annoying.

I’d prefer installing it to $sysconfdir, similar to how we do it in
Guix.  That makes it easier for interested users to locate the right
.service and to install it, right after they’ve done ‘guix install
cuirass’.

WDYT?

If that’s fine with you, I’ll happily push v2 on your behalf!

Thanks,
Ludo’.
