guix-daemon.service and guix-publish.service use deprecated StandardError/StandardOutput features |

Both guix-daemon.service and guix-publish.service make use of
StandardError=syslog and StandardOutput=syslog.
When building a guix 1.2.0 or 1.3.0rc* on Debian, I get the following
warnings when checking with lintian:
W: guix: systemd-service-file-uses-deprecated-syslog-facility
lib/systemd/system/guix-daemon.service StandardError=syslog
N:
W: systemd-service-file-uses-deprecated-syslog-facility
N:
N: The specified systemd service file specifies StandardOutput= or
N: StandardError= that references syslog or syslog-console.
N:
N: This is discouraged, and systemd versions 246 and above will log a
N: warning about this.

N: Refer to

N: for details.
N:
N: Severity: warning
N:
N: Check: systemd
Following the above link has this to say:
* StandardError= and StandardOutput= in unit files no longer support
the "syslog" and "syslog-console" switches. They were long removed
from the documentation, but will now result in warnings when used,
and be converted to "journal" and "journal+console"
automatically.
So apparently need to switch the .service files to use "journal". I am
not sure what implications that would have for installing guix on a
foreign distro, such as minimum systemd version, or if anything needs
significant changes.
Presumably at some point support for this Standard*=syslog will be
dropped entirely from systemd...

And finally pushed the patch, as
