For this very reason, I moved all of my settings out of Customize, set
`custom-file` to "~/.emacs.d/lisp/custom.el", which is consequently only used
for `package-selected-packages`, and keep this file out of the git repo.

Sure, I can't use `package-install-selected-packages`, but most of my packages
are installed through `use-package` anyway, so I can live with that. And I can't
use Customize, but that's also just a slight annoyance.
