Thanks, John.

Stefan, would you please handle this?  Moving use-package from
use-package-core.el to use-package.el would probably mean much more
massive load whenever the macro is used, and I wonder whether there's
a more light-weight solution.  If such a light-weight solution exists,
I think we should install it on the emacs-30 release branch, but if
the only reasonable solution is what the OP suggested, then I think it
should go to master.

Btw, I think this bug and bug#72293 are the same bug, so I'm merging
them.
