i'm on 24.5.2 (manually compiled on Debian Jessie x86_64), and
when i comment out `package-initialize' from my init.el and start
a non-daemonised instance of Emacs, startup doesn't fully complete
due to `package-archives' being a void variable on which my config
tries to use `add-to-list'. Then, commenting out such lines, i get
errors on calls to things like `emms-all' - i have
emms-20150519.736 installed from MELPA. After startup completes,
`package--initialized' and `package-enable-at-startup' are both
set to `t'.
Alexis.
