Puppet Enterprise should support installation via distribution package 
management tools, such as RPM and DEB. Interactive installers are difficult for 
a large environment where centralised control of software is required. 

As an example, we use RHN Satellite in our environment to push out software, 
report on versions, etc. This only supports the use of RPM files, so PE has to 
be an exception to this process.

I'd suggest splitting out the "install" and "configure" phases of the PE 
installer, so the software can be installed/upgraded by the package management 
tools, and configured through a 'setup' script, while retaining support for the 
"answer file" auto-configuration system.
