I think it is not able to manage devices because the Argyll CMS dependency 
[0] is missing in Guix. Unfortunately, it seems to also depend on the 
discontinued Jam build tool [1], so there is a little bit of work to be 
done.

I did spot another issue with colord since the recent core-updates merge: 
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/37843 It seems like it is no longer 
being started automatically via dbus?

Hope that helps,
Jack
