From this example:

package { 'foo':
    ensure => '1.0.0',
}

package { 'foo':
    ensure => '1.0.1',
}

package { 'foo':
    ensure => 'latest',
}

Which one wins? Since resources can be evaluated and applied in any order (barring dependencies), you could end up in a situation where a package gets flipped between different versions on subsequent runs of the agent. It breaks the idea of being idempotent.

I've encountered the problem where 2 modules declare the identical package.

I wonder why package { .. } doesn't check if the package is already declared, and the redundant declaration can be ignored.

Will it be a nice improvement? If not, why not?

Thank you,
Tanin
