AFAICS, currently apt-get update is not ran before installing packages, which might lead to outdated packages being installed, or 404 errors on downloads.

There is __apt_update_index, but that only updates if anything in /etc/apt changed, ignoring the fact that the package archive itself also changes. There is __package_update_index, which supports updating on every run, or whenever the indexes are older than some specified time, but that will likely cause downloading the indices when they're not going to be used.

To properly solve this, the __package_apt type should (implicitly?) depend on __package_update_index, which should have some kind of --only-when-needed flag (implied when the user does not specify __package_update_index in the manifest explicitly?). This does require the __package_update_index type to be able to look into the future to see if any __package_apt types are going to be executed (and it should probably not hardcode that name, so the relation should probably be reversed).

Ideally, this update type would also be used by __apt_source, which now just calls apt-get update, which could then lead to running it twice when not really needed.

Again, not sure how this should work, but would be nice if it would work automatically :-)
