The documentation that you quoted in your initial report explained that
packages are initialized _after_ processing the init file. So if you
want to use a package in your init file, then yes, you need to manually
init the package system before doing so. If all you wanted to do was
manipulate package-archives, then you could require package, or use
customize, as for any other such variable.
