Yep, that's the low-level way of achieving this (more or less – emacs-
minimal isn't always the only package to replace). On a higher level,
you can bind (package-input-rewriting …) to a name and use that. I
personally prefer the (options->transformation …)¹ variant, though,
which is nearly identical and compiles to this.

That sounds concerning. We might want to look into individual bugs
such as this.
¹ the argument is '((with-input . "emacs-minimal=<your-emacs>")),
which imho, reads nicer. <your-emacs> could be emacs, emacs-pgtk,
etc.
