Micah found an issue with usage of config_content: if you call template('...')
yourself and pass that on to config_content, then your template gets evaluated
without all of the variables. This means that you don't hava access to
blacklisted_packages, mail_recipient or mailonlyonerror.
To make it possible to use a different template while still having access to
those variables, let's make it possible to change the template name that we're
using.
* On squeeze, use release fact instead of hardcoded release name
* On wheezy, special-case because codename selector is not available
* On jessie and up, start pulling in point-release updates. The
codename selector ensures that we won't be upgrading to a new
release automatically.
allow disabling backports (and volatile in ubuntu)
as the module stands now, there's no way to disable backports.
there are a few reasons why we want to allow this:
* "tools, not policy" - if Debian doesn't ship with backports enabled by default, why should we change that policy?
* too many sources.list entries can cause problems on `apt-get update`, which can run out of memory and require special config
* if the pinning fails, some packages may be updated by mistake
* even if pinning works, some may *want* to keep admins from installing anything from backports as a policy
this keeps backports installed by default (begrudgingly) however. it just allows disabling it.
it also allows disabling volatile in ubuntu, which wasn't possible before.

* Removes dependency on lsb-release and/or Facter >1.7
(values are based on $::lsbdistcodename, when available)
* Simplifies maintenance: only lib/facter/util/* require updates as new
releases are made
Caveats:
* apt::codename is removed; to override debian_* facts, set the
FACTER_debian_codename environment variable for puppet
* If tracking unstable, make sure lsb-release is installed, as other
methods can't tell between testing and unstable
updates for debian sources
There have been some recent changes in debian resulting in changes to sources
* jessie was released and very soon there will be a jessie-backports, so the backports logic needs to handle that
* the http.debian.net redirector has a new official url
See merge request !8
This functionality was lost because we stopped using a source file for
the 50unattended-upgrades file that would previously let one override
the configuration per release or per host.
