* gnu/system/install.scm (self-contained-tarball): Pass --owner and
--group to 'tar'.

(X.509 Certificates): New section.
* gnu/system/examples/desktop.tmpl: Use NSS-CERTS.

This reverts commit 3b09332adf, which
turned out to be a bad idea because we need to have dependency
information between the device-mapping service and the file-system
service that uses it.

field.
* gnu/system.scm (operating-system-user-mapped-devices,
operating-system-boot-mapped-devices): Use it instead of trying to
guess. Guessing doesn't work when one refers to a partition using its
label, for instance.

to "fr_FR.utf8".
