Hello Guix,

with the latest commit on master

    branch: master
    commit: d48af5cca84914d44b032d0bf0820640ebbe7a4b
```

I can't reconfigure my system anymore. The variable
activate-privileged-programs seems to be unbound somewhere.

This is the full log from reconfiguring my system:

```
root@guix ~# guix system reconfigure -L src src/asahi/guix/systems/server.scm  --allow-downgrades

```

In `(gnu services)` the `activate-privileged-programs` function is used
in a gexp and it looks like it is imported from `(gnu system
privilege)`. Shouldn't this function be imported from `(gnu build
activation)` instead?
