Subject: 24.5; (package-initialize) added to init.el without (setq
 package-enable-at-startup nil)

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

package--ensure-init-file inserts (package-initialize) into the user's
init file, but it does not also insert (setq package-enable-at-startup nil),
which means that (according to (emacs) Package Installation) Emacs will
re-initialize the packages post-init:

> In some circumstances, you may want to load packages explicitly in
> your init file (usually because some other code in your init file
> depends on a package).  In that case, your init file should call the
> function ‘package-initialize’.  It is up to you to ensure that
> relevant user options, such as ‘package-load-list’ (see below), are
> set up prior to the ‘package-initialize’ call.  You should also set
> ‘package-enable-at-startup’ to ‘nil’, to avoid loading the packages
> again after processing the init file.
