About 2) the use-package forms happen after I load custom-file.
I just manually deleted those 3 packages and reinstalled them from the
package manager and then M-x package-autoremove displayed "Nothing to
autoremove". But I noticed that that process did not update the
package-selected-packages to the custom.el. I had to manually eval
(package--save-selected-packages (package--find-non-dependencies))
in order to update the custom.el
Before that, of course, after each emacs restart, package.el was trying to
autoremove those 3 packages.
