Subject: | bug#69410: 30.0.50; [WISHLIST] Use-package: allow :ensure to accept package spec instead of separate :vc keyword |

I think it would be cleaner to allow use-package's :ensure keyword to accept the arguments the :vc keyword currently does. e.g.
;; Install EXAMPLE package from ELPA archive (use-package example :ensure t) ;; Install EXAMPLE package from source(use-package example :ensure (:url "https://www.forge.com/maintainer/example"))
My reasoning is that this has greater potential to work across multiple package managers. Instead of each package manager adding their own use-package keyword (e.g. :vc, :straight, :elpaca), they can all interpret the :ensure keyword's value. It would make things simpler for package maintainers offering example declarations and users switching between package managers.
Thoughts?
