Yeah, we all generally agree that sticking to your distribution's packages where possible is a best practice.
In the case of Puppet; not so much. Puppet is a fast-moving target. You will find, though, that prominent community members maintain packages which, while "unofficial" from a distro POV, are incredibly stable and well put-together. Also, roll-your-own is actually a good option for Puppet. In any case, that version of Puppet is not only old, it is essentially unsupported as well, so... make the decision that is appropriate to your needs.
