Hi!

I was just looking into having my wayland-dependent services supervised
by the Shepherd and come across this issue.

Is that still the best way to achieve this? If so: How do I do that? Of
cause I can patch home-shepherd-service-type in the monorepo and change
the default value of the `auto-start?` property, but is there a better
way which doesn't require me doing that? Should we maybe also document
this in the manual?

Greetings
Sören
