It seems to me that your fix is the easiest way to tackle the issue,
without having to do a deep-dive into loaddefs. Eli, can this be
applied to emacs-29? An alternative fix would be to restrict the
changes to package-vc, but that seems like an unnecessary duplication,
since the change doesn't affect package.
