Subject: 29.0.60; Make use-package cooperate with package-vc
Date: Mon, 19 Dec 2022 19:06:07 +0800

Severity: wishlist

Given that Emacs 29 has both use-package and package-vc, it seems useful
to combine them together.  IIUC, currently the :ensure keyword only uses
'package-install'.  It would be great if one can write,

    (use-package foo
     :ensure "https://github.com/bar/foo")

which expands to something using package-vc-install.
