Currently finder-compile-keywords considers finder--builtins-alist
before the Package header, so no.  However, if you changed the order,
then you would not have to move bind-key.el out of lisp/use-package.
(Of course you would have to double-check to make sure this doesn't
have any unintended consequences.)

My alternative finder-compile-keywords current checks the Package header
before finder--builtins-alist.  I'll have to test whether reversing the
order changes anything (in addition to the mentioned cases).

Run "make finder-data" and then look at the diff?
