Yes I agree. In the meantime, I think that the configuration file read
is an acceptable solution.

Seems fair.
I ran the installer tests with this command: make check-system
TESTS="gui-installed-os". The following error is reported:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

As explained here:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-patches/2021-05/msg00819.html,
you need to introduce a new "list-selection" conversation item in the
"choose-services" procedure of the (gnu installer tests) module to fix
this issue.
Thanks,
Mathieu
