The scripts that update Packages run every day at about noon, PDT. I
typically install packages in the evenings, so you're right that the
files are not always up-to-date.
I'll think about running the scripts by hand after I install.

You should file a bug against sudo. Read /debian/doc/bug-reporting.txt
on any mirror for instructions.

But swap should be turned on before doing any memory-hungry things,
like fsck for example. kerneld is already started pretty early. You
can rename the S files in /etc/rc2.d (changing their numbers) if you
want to change the order.
My advice is not to compile raid0 as a module. It'll never be removed,
you realize, so there's really no benefit to compiling it as a module.
