Great!

I think we could move bind-keys to lisp/emacs-lisp, if everybody agrees.

You're right, it did not work without that addition.  I've changed that
in the attached, now fully tested patch.

Because it was like that on MELPA.  I think we might as well not do
that.

The only nice thing I see is that it would stop `use-package' from
depending on `system-packages'.  But I don't think that's a big issue,
and on the contrary doing that will make things simpler.

I hope I managed to improve that with commit a9037aa8e8, thanks.
