I actually agree with Ashley's approach. Binary installation is going to be better done with a package if you can - albeit the package may be quite large. You want to install it in such a way so its generic, and then let Puppet specialize it afterwards.
Activities like creating new schemas, users, managing init.ora and pfile/spfile and such are candidates for puppet resources and management for example. ken.
