So, in this, we are in "violent agreement" :-)

Ahh, OK. I was just trying to sketch a test case. So the thing would be:

(custom-set-variables '(package-install-upgrade-built-in t))
(use-package org
  :ensure t :pin gnu) ;; to upgrade from elpa
  :init (message "org-version: %s" org-version))
(use-package eglot
 :ensure t :: just to configure and initialise the built-in package
 :init (message "init eglot"))

Is that what you mean?
