Hi, so you'd like to sub-namespace modules? I don't think this would work.
Say you forced the contents of puppetlabs-apache into the business_group_a subtree. You would then need to rename classes and defines, e.g. apache -> business_group_a::apache and so forth. What you are describing should actually be handled through distinct environments. For example /etcpuppetlabs/puppet/environments/business_group_a/group-modules /etcpuppetlabs/puppet/environments/business_group_a/modules -> ../../production/modules (Making sure that .../business_group_a/environment.conf sets modulepath=modules:group-modules). This would be a clunky way to allow "group modules" next to centrally curated modules. But then, you probably want to look at r10k and its tool chain to get better control over the environments.
