The variable `package-selected-packages` should not be saved to the users init
file (or whatever `custom-file` points to). This was discussed before on
emacs-devel but wasn't resolved:

<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2016-02/msg00958.html> but 

The gist of it is that if you keep your configuration under version control,
having package-selected-packages written to your config file is inconvenient if
you share your config across multiple machines but do not want to have the exact
same set of packages installed on each.

Even if you do want to keep the exact same set of packages on each machine, you
still need to be careful about installing them, because the order of package
installation affects the order of package-selected-packages, and so does
deleting and reinstalling a package. As a result, I often experienced
meaningless VC conflicts that needed to be resolved.

IMHO the value of package-selected-packages should be written to a separate
file, so that it's possible to put it under version control or ignore it,
independently from the rest of one's configuration.
