A service is not the same as a shepherd service; we also have activation services that run once and only create a file or a directory.
After 2 to 3 hours of research, going through documentation and various .scm, I still don't even manage to write a service for my system configuration that just does a (mkdir-p "/tmp/.X11-uni"), so figuring out how to make that dependent on the actual need is way outside my capabilities.
Should I file a bug, and if so, against what? -- Thorsten Wilms thorwil's design for free software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/
