No, not really. Because that would require me to modify the 3rd party
modules to use that base packages module
instead of how its defined. i.e. if i need build-essentials for my
django module, put it on github, anybody who uses my module
and maybe have another module of their own that also defines build-
essentials, forces them to fork libraries.
I am still very new to puppet, so maybe im missing somewhat obvious.
