At my day job we had a few modules that did the same.  We addressed
this by moving the tarballs out of .../files, creating *.rpm and *.deb
packages with fpm (https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm), hosting those
packages in our local package manager (we use JFrog's Artifactory for
development, so it was convenient and available for IT use), and then
using puppet's package resource to manage package installation.
