Bug #13254: default package provider doesn't respect source parameter

The default package provider on CentOS doesn't use the source parameter.
I have a manifest that contains this:
<code>
<pre>
package { 'graphite-web':
ensure => installed,
source => 'file:///root/manifests/source/graphite-web-0.9.9-1.noarch.rpm',
}
</pre>
</code>
It's a system package; I'm telling Puppet where to get it; I expect the
manifest to work. It doesn't.
As a user (maybe just as a noob), I would expect that since the package is a
system type of package (i.e. rpm), I shouldn't need to explicitly specify the
provider. If I must, then as a user, I must know the implementation details
that for system packages (implicit/provider-less) Puppet will only try the yum
provider even though it can't handle the source parameter (or at least a source
parameter containing a URI).
Here's the logic for how I think it should work:
<pre>
no provider && no source => system package, use default [yum on CentOS]
no provider && source => system package, use (default.supports_source? ?
default : URI supportable system package command [rpm on CentOS])
</pre>
This works:
<code>
<pre>
package { 'graphite-web':
ensure => installed,
provider => 'rpm',
source => 'file:///root/manifests/source/graphite-web-0.9.9-1.noarch.rpm',
}
</pre>
</code>
But I feel like we needn't explicitly include provider.
