That's interesting but sounds very non-specific to 
xdg-desktop-portal-wlr; I think this would be better to propose on 
guix-devel@ to switch elogind->basu for _all_ dependents, not only 
xdg-desktop-portal-wlr -- the latter would increate the closure, not 
reduce it, because other installed packages would still use elogind.

Greetings,
Maxime.
