this require is not necessary, as puppet automagically order
file-resources by path.

really? I use exactly this kind of setup for various things (also
munin [1], [2]) and puppet doesn't purge managed files. So if you
collect the files File <<| tag == 'munin' |>> they aren't purged. It
works like charm. really. And it's imho definitely the way to go.
cheers pete.
