My vote then _Client:_ server environment certname maybe include the client/server certificates (not so sure since they are kind of big)
The certificate would be useful to allow secure <<pseudo>> auto-signing for puppet with the help of some custom functions. Ie it allows initial connect, on this run you get the real hostname via a custom fact, call a function, delayed (anacron or something) sign the certificate, modify via manifests the puppet.conf to be what you got for the real hostname. Also you could include some other bootstrap stuff in this run. _Server:_ For the server package I counter recommend anything. If you need to automate a puppet master install it would be a good idea to do it via some manifest and/or with the help of another puppet master.
