You want to restrict when to make those changes with the onlyif
paramater, something like
augeas { "...":
context => ...
changes => ...
onlyif => "match *[ Pin = 'release' and Package = 'augeas-lenses']
size == 0"
}

You'd need to add another augeas resource to cover that case, something
like
augeas { "...":
context => "/files/etc/apt/preferences[Pin = 'release' and Package =
'augeas-lenses']",
changes => "set Pin-Priority 900",
onlyif => "match * size == 0"
}

When that happens, is libaugeas0 installed ?
