This implements the "update initiator" pattern suggested by
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/puppet/wiki/Debian_Patterns.
This feature is useful when one does not want to setup a fully automated upgrade
process but still needs a way to manually trigger full upgrades of any number of
systems at scheduled times.
Before you only had the choice of setting a 03clean apt configuration for either
all hosts, or every single host. Setting it to have the recommended settings for
vservers for all hosts meant that you were setting it for non-vservers as well
as vservers. The other option you had was to set it per host. This was a bit
annoying if you have any more than one vserver because you would need to create
a 03clean for every single vserver guest.
This change auto-detects if the node is a vserver, and if it is it automatically
installs the 03clean_vserver file, with the recommended DSelect::Clean settings,
and allows you to override this for all of your vservers, or for specific hosts.

Going on merging immerda changes.
Incompatible change: I do prefer my own generic apt/preferences template to
shipping a static file that only supports Lenny. My own template supports
security, backports, volatile, next release etc.

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.

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)
