I wonder if this service is really needed or if it would be enough to install the package into the system profile, for example. (It looks fine to me, but I’m still curious.)

Thanks for taking a look Ricardo. I'm unsure, this DBus/Polkit stuff is still a bit of a mystery to me. These files are put in place by the service [1], and I think that's what makes it do stuff... 1: /etc/dbus-1/system-services/org.opensuse.CupsPkHelper.Mechanism.service /etc/polkit-1/actions/org.opensuse.cupspkhelper.mechanism.policy I guess it entirely depends on the configuration for DBus and Polkit in Guix, but I can't see similar things in /run/current-system/profile/etc/ so I'm guessing it's not currently possible to make this work through the system profile.
