I can now confirm that after changing the order in my own code, the
result is the same as before / as expected; except for bind-keys.el
because that hasn't been moved out of lisp/use-package yet.

All the other changes made in response to this request also work as
expected; I could remove the respective kludges.  (This does not
include the additional libraries, which I yesterday suggest might
be good candidates for removal.)
