Be aware that all vendor support for Puppet 3 ended at the end of 2016, and
Puppet provides their own packages (puppet-agent and puppetserver in PC1
replace the older puppet/puppetmaster combo) so you don't have to wait on
Debian. While you should plan your upgrade with care, the lack of any
support should be a motivating factor to start planning immediately instead
of waiting on a third party who isn't negatively affected by waiting, like
you are.
