The question should be about whether Puppet applies the Package resource, not about the details of what is involved in applying it under one set of circumstances vs. another. I more or less agree with (2), but I would couch it in different terms: 2'. Do not attempt to apply a resource that has a 'require' relationship (or equivalent) with a resource that is not successfully applied, and 2'a. Do not consider resources to have been successfully applied when they are excluded from application by a schedule. The first is a Puppet invariant, so the second is the key.
