As Nigel implied, what you're asking is self-contradictory.  If you
want Puppet to clean up a resource, then that constitutes Puppet
managing it.  Even using the Resources type to purge otherwise
unmanaged resources (which makes me nervous, too) puts resources under
Puppet management in a logical sense.

As I sometimes tell folks, "unmanaged" does not mean absent, it means
"I don't care."  If you *do* care, then manage the resource.

That seems almost a slam dunk for a resource that starts out managed.
Instead of taking it out of management, manage it into the state you
want (such as absent).
