The apt-get command line above is what puppet's apt provider uses to install the package's "newest" version. --force-yes is not on that line, and I'd say that's correct. However right now automatic downgrades seem impossible. While it might be possible to change puppet to add --force-yes in such situations, I don't think this would be a good idea. Changing this on apt side seems like a much cleaner solution.
