Really?  (use-package foobar :ensure t) will download and install the
foobar package.  If it does that itself or tells package.el to do it
doesn't really matter.

FWIW, I'd select use-package in that question + package.el (for
deletion) and auto-package-update (missing!) for updates without having
to manually go through the *Packages* buffer.
