 Variables
 =========
 
-$apt_clean: Sets DSelect::Clean, defaults to 'auto' on normal hosts and
-	'pre-auto' in vservers, since the latter are usually more space-bound and
-	have better recovery mechanisms via the host
-	From apt.conf(5), 0.7.2: "Cache Clean mode; this value may be one of
-		always, prompt, auto, pre-auto and never. always and prompt will
-		remove all packages from the cache after upgrading, prompt (the
-		default) does so conditionally.  auto removes only those
-		packages which are no longer downloadable (replaced with a new
-		version for instance). pre-auto performs this action before
-		downloading new packages."

-$custom_sources_list: If non-empty, the contents of this variable are used as
-	new sources.list for the node.
+$custom_sources_list
+--------------------
+By default this module will use a basic apt/sources.list with a
+generic debian mirror. If you need to set more specific sources,
+e.g. for country proximity, proxies, etc. you can set this variable to
+the location of your sources.list template.  For example, setting the
+following variable before including this class will pull in the
+templates/apt/sources.list file: 
+$custom_sources_list ='template("apt/sources.list")'
+		       
+$custom_preferences	
+--------------------
+By default this module will use a basic apt/preferences file with
+unstable and testing pinned to very low values so that any package
+installation will not accidentally pull in packages from those suites
+unless you explicitly specify the version number. You can set this
+variable to pull in a customized apt/preferences template, for
+example, setting the following variable before including this class
+will pull in the templates/apt/preferences file: 
+$custom_preferences = 'template("apt/preferences")'
+
+$custom_key_dir
+---------------
+If you have different apt-key files that you want to get added to your
+apt keyring, you can set this variable to a path in your fileserver
+where individual key files can be placed. If this is set and keys
+exist there, this module will apt-key add each key

+apt::preseeded_package
+----------------------
+This simplifies installation of packages that you wish to preseed the
+answers to debconf. For example, if you wish to provide a preseed file
+for the locales package, you would place the locales.seed file in 
+templates/$debian_version/locales.seeds and then include the following
+in your manifest:
+
+apt::preseeded_package { locales: }
+
+apt::upgrade_package
+--------------------
+This simplifies upgrades for DSA security announcements or point-releases. This
+will ensure that the named package is upgrade to the version specified, only if the
+package is installed, otherwise nothing happens. If the specified version is 'latest' (the
+default), then the package is ensured to be upgraded to the latest package revision when
+it becomes available.  
+
+For example, the following upgrades the perl package to version 5.8.8-7etch1 (if it is
+installed), it also upgrades the syslog-ng and perl-modules packages to their latest (also,
+only if they are installed):
+
+upgrade_package { "perl":
+			version => '5.8.8-7etch1';
+		  "syslog-ng":
+			version => latest;
+		  "perl-modules":
+}
