Why apticron, when we have cron-apt already? Some people have different preferences, we use apticron along with the upgrade_package functionality in this module. I know someone who uses cron-apt to run the upgrades, but apticron for notifications, because apticron's notifications are much nicer (cron-apt just gives you the output of apt-get upgrade)
the templates/Debian/preferences_lenny.erb file checked in with
e2f80db7b7 contains pinning based on codename,
which is not supported in lenny (see #433624 - if you look at the version graph,
you see, "Fixed in version 0.7.21", and lenny has 0.7.20.2+lenny1.)
Merging one more commit.

File headers are there to indicate that the files should not be touched
directly on the server. By changing the first sentence to "This file is
managed by Puppet", we reinforce the idea that it is already taken care
of by something else.

The current proxy_client template makes it possible to communicate with
the proxy only via HTTP. Add the protocol to the variable so that it's
possible to change the protocol.

Currently, it's either we use the default source that's hardcoded in the
sources.list template or we redefine entirely this template.
Make it easier to just change the URL of the apt source while using the
rest of the default template by adding a $main_apt_source variable.

Simplifications: make apt_conf_snippet repeat less code, make code that
generates sources.list more concise.
Remove all inline content in favor of templates and static files.
The ability to include sources for static files was needed for
the main 'preferences' file, so it was added to the preferences_snippet
define.

With the new define, it's easy to add an apt.conf snippet in apt.conf.d
It accepts either 'sources' to get a static file or 'content' to define
content inline or with the help of a template.
Put it to use where we create files in apt.conf.d
Finally, fix the dependancy to the apt_config file (however, I don't see
the need for this dependancy)

mirrors that are closer, or internal proxy mirror configurations
should be set in the $custom_sources_list instead so that the default
is kept as generic as possible
