We're using the puppetlabs apt resource and a line like:
Apt::Source <| |> -> Package <| |>
to ensure that any Apt::Source is processed before any package installation.
I know this doesn't quite do the updating - we do that daily via cron,
but it does demonstrate the global dependency ordering of sources and
packages.
Hope that helps!
