sources_list doesn't currently force puppet to run 'apt-get update'
after creating/modifying/removing files in sources.list.d.

The .d directories are only managed by the main 'apt' class. However,
both 'sources_list' and 'apt_conf' defines depend on those directories.
So in practice, the defines have an implicit need for those directories
to be somehow managed.
Let's turn this into an explicit relation, and include the directories
in the defines.
This makes it possible to use both defines without having to include the
main 'apt' class. (maybe when using puppet apply?)

as we use $lsbdistcodename as source we cannot name the sources
which should be used to update "stable". -> Fix it by deploying
a per lsbdistcodename configfile. This can also be used as a pre-
work for the #2681 shared modules bug.
The APT pinning we ship does not support that, and this seems a bit too much of
a corner case to me to deserve being supported out-of-the-box.
Anyone willing to use current release + next release + next release backports
(e.g. Lenny + Squeeze + squeeze-backports) can anyway do so using
apt::sources_list and apt::preferences_snippet.
https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/2856 is the bug that triggered this change.
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.
Move this Exec to a dedicated class that is not included by default i.e. we
default not to "apt-get update" on every Puppet run.
We now make use of this class in the apt::upgrade_package define to make sure
APT indexes are up-to-date before attempting package upgrades.
One may now use the following to ensure current packages are installed by
Package resources:
include apt::update
Package { require => Exec[apt_updated] }
... because Exec[update_apt] is currently never run since we set it refreshonly.
Better solutions are being thought of, but in the meantime the least we can do
is somehow repair apt::upgrade_package.
