The name "destination directory" (especially in the form destination- directory) is both overly verbose and not really explanatory at all. Perhaps you might want to instead use "prefix" and have some reasonable default like ~/.config/guix/home – alternatively, since all these files are used in the same sense as /etc/skel, you could name it "skeleton" with an explanation along the lines of Existing configuration will be copied to SKELETON (default $HOME/.config/guix-home/skel). The name of this folder can be specified via --skeleton=DIRECTORY. If --no-create-skeleton is passed, /etc/skel will be used instead to at least initialize a bare- bones bash-service. WDYT?
