So far I use it for face customization, exclusively.

Good idea. I'll do it.

In my init file, I store a file name in `custom-file' so that the
stuff that customize manages is kept separate from my stuff, i.e., the
things I've write myself in my init file.
In the custom file, I have exclusively face customizations, which I
can tweak and save whenever I want.
So, if I write a call to customize-set-faces or
customize-set-variables right in my init file, the customizations made
that way end up in a "unsaved" state, so that if I do some face
customization (using customize) and save it, the custom file receives
not only the face customization, but also the other "unsaved" ones,
which I wanted to keep out of the custom file.

Yes, I think that's a good approach. I'll get rid of my custom file,
and do the appropriate calls to custom-set-xxxx directly from my init
file.
Thank you. This bug can be closed.
