apt-get update: "This step is important every reboot. As the 
/etc/apt/sources.list file is not kept on “disk”. This is meant to help keep 
writes to flash media at a minimum – In case you were wondering."

Wait, what? Why would this make sense? I write the flash all the time, what's 
wrong with writing it on the rare occasions I issue "apt-get update?"

I'd much rather write to flash than risk forgetting to update apt and screwing 
something up by installing the wrong package.
