In the working draft, either a simple-capture or an init-capture can be expanded, and a capture is either simple-capture with optional ellipsis, or an init-capture with optional ellipsis (which goes at the beginning). So the plain reading of the standard is that `...xs=args` is a pack expansion of the init-capture `xs=args`.

My bad, I shouldn't apply logic instead of looking at the wording. :)
