Oooh, got it: right above, you should call
‘operating-system-user-services’, not ‘operating-system-services’.

The latter includes “essential” services like ‘etc’ and ‘shepherd-root’,
which is why we’d end up with two copies of each of these.

Admittedly quite error-prone!

Let me know if there are other stumbling blocks.  I look forward to
seeing Digital Ocean support in ‘guix deploy’!

Thanks,
Ludo’.
