I'm using the puppetforge 'apt' module to deal with some repositories. It 
has 'always-apt-update' as a property and I've had it set to 'true' but I'm 
wondering what happens if I don't. 

Is the puppet package manager 'smart' enough to get the latest versions of 
packages that it's monitoring ('ensure => latest') without being told to 
keep the repository up to date?

The main reason I'm asking is that the 'apt-get update' seems to always run 
last in the 'agent' pass. IE it takes two runs to get the latest packages - 
1 to update the cache and the 2nd to get the latest versions.
