Does this change break it? On my system, the old @bindir@ method didn't yield a usable guix-daemon.service either, because there is no '/usr/local/bin/guix-daemon'. The binary tarball that we distribute includes the guix-daemon in its store, and the '/var/guix/...' path works too. There were lots of people trying to follow the Binary Installation instructions in the manual [0] and getting stuck on step 5. They weren't able to symlink the systemd service file, and they had to edit the file too. With this change, the instructions in the manual should work whether or not the user copies or symlinks the service file.

Thank you for your explanation and your patience. I finally understand now what you mean with binary installation and understand how it doesn't break it. I'll try to fix source installation somehow. Best regards, Tomas
