It does, as puppet will apply all 3 parameters (alias, ensure and
require) to each and every entry in the array, which fails at the
second element because the aiasl is already taken.

One way would be to put all this in a class and do a "require =>
Class["my_packages"]" or something like that, but I don't think it's
very "puppety". I think the "prettier" way would be to add requires
only as needed, and not on a loosely pieced together collection of
packages.
