OK. I thought about something like that, but I wasn’t clear on how the 
inheritance would work. Is there any reason why I couldn’t do this more 
directly?

    class puppet::server inherits puppet::client {
      File['/etc/puppet/puppet.conf'] {
        ensure => undef,
        source => undef,
      }
    }

Thanks.
