I'm inclined to think, then, that PkgGroup::InstallPkg::disabled is
not being included in the manifest for the affected node. Perhaps
it's part of a conditional branch that's not taken?
Moreover, what you would achieve with this if it were working is
different from what you initially asked for: in this case, Puppet
definitely *does* care whether the package is installed on the node,
for it removes the package if it is present.
Since this is a hack anyway, perhaps it would be quicker and easier to
comment out the relevant include statement, or to use an if statement
to disable it for the particular node in question.
