So the best practice should be like this; :-)
<snippet>
commands:
debian|ubuntu.Hr00::
"/usr/bin/aptitude update";
packages:
debian|ubuntu::
"$(packages_to_be_installed)"
package_policy => "add",
package_method => aptitude;
<snippet>
body package_method aptitude
{
<snippet>
package_add_command => "/usr/bin/aptitude --assume-yes install";
<snippet>
}
Cheers,
