Description

lfs, attachments and avatars inherit the configuration from storage automatically. This is described in https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/config-cheat-sheet/#storage-storage.

It reads also as if packages would do so as the section ends with "[...] etc.". Yet packages doesn't and one needs to explicitly set

    "storage.packages":
      STORAGE_TYPE: minio

in app.ini to be able to store packages in minio or similar.

This has already been asked in https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/21300 but the point whether this is desired this way or a bug has not been addressed.
Hence I am not sure whether label this as a "bug" or a "feature request" but it looks to me as if packages should inherit from storage in the same way as lfs, attachments and avatars already do?

In addition, in the documentation at https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/config-cheat-sheet/#packages-packages STORAGE_TYPE is not even listed for packages, which is another reason to assume that it inherits from storage.
Maybe it might also be worth adding STORAGE_TYPE to the PACKAGES section as a parameter to make it more clear?

I think #23911 should also fix this problem.
