Hi everyone,

thank you for your help and comments so far. I have a proposal that should:

- solve https://issues.guix.gnu.org/68848

- allow for both plain and GNU Stow's layouts

- for GNU Stow layouts, allows to select a subset of application 
dotfiles to be provisioned in the user's home directory. Please Sergey 
let me know if this covers your use case .


Ludo' , Janneke, let me know your thoughts on this v2 and if it works 
for your directory layouts. Thank you again everyone for your efforts.
