Subject: [PATCH] system: skeleton-directory: Allow copying into subdirectories.
Date: Tue, 11 Feb 2025 19:47:30 +0530

This fixes the error while copying the source to the target that is supposed to
go into subdirectories that are not present yet.

* gnu/shadow.scm (skeleton-directory): Create the parent directories of the
target if not present before copying the source.
