I am, but the docs seem to suggest that these are only relevant to the
build and live stages, and my concern was the as-installed
configuration.
Is there any point having access to a debian repository when running "live"?

This seems to be the answer, as I mentioned earlier. It's not 100%
obvious that the way to get sudo is to preseed the root password and
the way to avoid having _no_ repository is to preseed a mirror.
