Nothing really compelling, perhaps, but...
- some OSs don't have symlinks (i.e. Windows)
- the symlink approach doesn't work if a package installed with one
prefix wants to install (database mysql) and a different package
with a different prefix wants to install (database postgres)
- in my view, installing an init.d file (under $sysconfdir) feels less
polluting of the distribution-managed part of the filesystem than
putting a symlink into /usr/share/guile/site.

In practice I would guess not. Most distribution-managed packages
would go into /usr/share/guile, and most home-built packages into
/usr/local/share/guile, I'd guess. What is your concern, though?
