Yes.  I also reported this to Jonas[1] and in the following discussion
he suggested that and I tried it[2].

The following does not check out the transient repository into
~/.emacs.d/elpa/:

    rm -rf ~/.emacs.d &&
    echo '(setq package-install-upgrade-built-in t)
    (use-package transient :vc (:url "https://github.com/magit/transient" :rev :newest) :ensure t)' > ~/.emacs &&
    ~/bin/emacs
