Currently Puppet searches through your module path for a name, and the first directory that has a subdirectory with that name is considered to be the entire module; any other modules with the same name in later directories will get ignored by Puppet. This ignoring is why you can't override actual files. My proposed change would have Puppet no longer ignore those later modules - you could have your dist modules in a later search path, your site module in an early search path, and Puppet would prefer files from the module earlier in the path.
