Sorry for disturbing the conversation, but in you patch, does puppet
reload facts or at least providers between stages? One cool, and
very very useful use would be a bootstrap stage which would make
sure augeas is installed and/or lsb-distrealease is installed (which
would allow facter to decide if the current system is a debian or
ubuntu one).
Puppet doesn't do anything in between stages, but provider validity
*shouldn't* be tested until a given resource attempts to actually use
that provider, so this should actually work fine in general.
If, however, you're relying on lsb-distrelease to provide facts but
you're installing it with Puppet, then that won't work, unfortunately.
