I’ve never used themes before, so I wasn’t thinking of them at all when the
feature was added. Someone who uses themes a lot, and customizes them, should
be asked this question.

I would expect the behavior to be whatever `custom-set-faces' does. Since
use-package is only intended to expand to “best practice” Emacs Lisp, it
shouldn’t add any new behavior in my opinion.
