Updates happens multiple times, normally 2 to 3, even if we consider a state without includes. On states with multiple includes, it could easily get approximately 10 updates being ran. This behavior leads to unnecessary network bandwidth being spent and more time to run the installation state. When the connection is slow and not using the cacher, such as torified connections on Whonix, the installation can occurs much faster. Adding external repositories has to be done prior to update to ensure it is also fetched. Fixes: https://github.com/ben-grande/qusal/issues/29
