Because the behaviour of puppet when an array is converted to a string
is to concatenate.
What you want is something like this:
package { $array: ... }
...rather than...
package { "$array": ... }
I think you will then run into the issue that $name can't be expanded
at that point, though, which would require writing an extra define to
make it available. :(
