I think we should definitely be opinionated about it.  For example, if
we ever build a tool to register packages being managed by Puppet then
that tool should put them in some well defined place.  The tool will
need to have an opinion on where that place is.

Feature #11865: Package providers that support a "source" parameter should 
allow for puppet:/// URL sources

Rather than having to store packages on an http server, it would be 
significantly less friction if we could instead do:

<pre>
package { "foo":
  source => "puppet:///modules/mymodule/foo.pkg",
}
</pre>

The providers that should support this are:

  * pkgdmg
  * appdmg
  * msi
  * dpkg
  * rpm

As well as whatever Solaris providers work this way.
