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.

Your wish has been granted.  Emacs 30.1 will have the :vc keyword:

   The ‘:vc’ keyword can be used to control how packages are downloaded
and/or installed.  More specifically, it allows one to fetch and update
packages directly from a version control system.  This is especially
convenient when wanting to install a package that is not on any package
archive.
