Not specifically, as the place I use puppet does everything with .deb  
packages.

However using local::lib is perfectly reasonable here... However, are  
you planning to deploy from git / svn, or are you planning to build  
a .tgz file (with make dist) and upload it into your own minicpan  
mirror?

Both of these are sane solutions, but how your puppet setup looks is  
going to depend a lot on how you're actually planning to deploy the  
apps - in fact, that's a much more significant issue to sort out than  
how to automate it in puppet..
