Greetings Guix,

Shepherd services support an AUTO-START? parameter that defaults to #t.
By setting it to #f, the service will not be started with the system.

However 'guix system reconfigure' will automatically start such a
service when it is added.  If the service already exists and is stopped,
it does not get started.
