I don't know if that would work or not, but it turns out I was over
complicating things. All I needed to do was this:
file {
smbshares:
path => "/etc/samba/shares.conf",
source => [
"puppet:///samba/shares/$hostname.conf",
"puppet:///samba/shares/default.conf",
];
}
As Thomas Bellman pointed out the file type already supports this. If you
specify multiple file sources for a file then the first source that exists
will be used.
