It can be shared the same way other Custom settings can be shared.

But, IIUC, the current package.el supports this use case already without
any problem, right?
Anyway, I'll just drop this discussion because it's taking much more
time than writing the code. All I'm after is a way to get things like
auto-removal of unrequired packages, and to have a more declarative way
to specify which packages you want to install and see which packages
you installed.

But people can already do that, so it's a different issue from the one
I'm after.
