Rob- The reason augeas is not a dependency is because puppet works just fine without it and a lot of sites do not want or need the extra functions that augeas provides, kind of like the way puppet does not require any particular software provider to be installed. It is an extra function dependency not a core puppet dependency. You can tell puppet to make sure it is installed before you use the augeas features with an augeas default in the main manifest.
