Not sure either.  Maybe I'm looking for something like use-package but
which takes better advantage of ELPA.  Maybe also one that better
integrates with Customize.

I guess I'm also interested to see what other users find important in
terms of "configuration problems that need solving".

Maybe one other aspect is the issue of bootstrap/ordering between
package.el and Customize: we want to be able to customize package.el via
Customize (and some of these settings may need to be set before
package-initialize), but the one-and-only call to custom-set-variables
often needs to be done after package-initialize.  So, splitting the
config "by package" is probably the right way to go about it.
