        How about the following?

(defcustom package-selected-packages nil
  "List of packages to keep installed.
Packages may also be installed or removed as part of dependency

the packages listed here, along with all their dependencies, are kept
installed."
  :group 'package
  :type '(repeat (choice symbol)))
