Hi,

There seems to be an inconsistency with the log-files created by home shepherd service

- The main shepherd and some other services (dbus, batsignal, unclutter) use .local/state/log/ (resp. $LOCAL_STATE_HOME/log)

- Many other services (kodi, znc, parcimonie, ssh-agent) use the shepherd-variable %user-log-dir (from (shepherd support))
which is .local/state/shepherd (resp. $LOCAL_STATE_HOME/shepherd)

which is certainly confusing.

In particular this overrides the default shepherd log file in $LOCAL_STATE_HOME/shepherd.

Some consistency would be nice here.

If guix wants to deviate from the shepherd defaults (should the defaults be changed instead?, not sure if there is a standard location for user level logs) it should probably export this somewhere such that all services can easily reuse it.
