Oh, nice.

Upgrading guix-daemon when it was originally installed with apt is
tricky: you need to modify /etc/systemd/system/guix-daemon.service so
that it refers to the one in /var/guix/….  So I think few people upgrade
the daemon on Debian.

I’m not sure how to improve on that; we could document it under
“Upgrading Guix” at least.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
