I know this sounds like a great idea, but decades of experience with puppet
and proceeding tools tell us that editing the content of files is very, very
hard to get right.
You would almost certainly be better off copying the right file content into
place, so that you don't have the extra complexity.
As an alternative, building the file from fragments with one of the
'concatenated files' classes is a pretty sound idea; it makes it easy have
variable sections inside the file without needing to edit-in-place.

There are a couple in the common module collections; check out the wiki for
the links off to 'em. Their current state may have changed since I last
looked, so I don't have a specific recommendation for you.

Y'see, I learned that lesson way back when cfengine provided really good tools
for doing this sort of editing, and it *always* tool much longer and was much
less robust than I expected...
