Point 2 doesn't seem to help in working around or fixing the related
#52533 though, correct?  Restarting the remote elogind or even
ssh-daemon doesn't work there, perhaps because 'guix deploy' wasn't able
to complete in the first place.

I guess that means we should look into fixing point 1., as you already
suggested.  On top of that I'd propose disabling PAM unless there's a
good reason to have it on by default; as I wrote in the other issue,
`man sshd_config' documents that by default in OpenSSH it is disabled.

Thanks,

Maxim
