   Sorry, I am not sure what that even means.  We seem to be considering
   already the question of what happens when people customize
   custom-file.  You are asking whether we should consider some question,
   but I can't tell what the question is.

I should have said "saved" through Custom, not "customized" through
Custom.  If the user saves the value of `custom-file' through Custom
and all we do is write a setq into .emacs, should we set `saved-value'
to the new value and set all the other properties that Custom sets
when the user saves a value for an option through Custom.  That was my
question.  As I pointed out earlier, I believe that both answers to
that question are unsatisfactory.

Sincerely,

Luc.
