But for the record: IIUC, I that approach isn't flawless either,
because doing face customization is pretty hard without the customize
facility, and using customize will imply:
1. Do the customization in a custom buffer.
2. Save the customization (for getting the elisp code).
3. Look for the appropriate sentence in the generated custom file, and
move it to my init file.

That is not very convenient, but fortunately I don't do face
customization every day.
