Issue #1798 has been updated by Ido Rosen.
I'd like to see this issue addressed - there are some environments where I
can't use puppet because this purge-all-except-declared-resources feature does
not exist. It may partly require some modification of existing providers such
as package/service providers, or the method of enumeration of resources. I
don't have the time these days to work on it - but it's all yours if you want
it!

Bug #1798: Fix to allow resources {service: purge => true}...
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/1798#change-73523
Author: Ido Rosen
Status: Re-opened
Priority: Normal

Target version:
Affected Puppet version: 0.24.6

Branch:
The service resource type needs an ensure => absent option so that it is
compatible with purging of unmanaged entries. Here's a patch to add an alias
for it. I've tested this patch. In lieu of changing the way purging of
unmanaged entries works, perhaps there should be a requirement that types
support ensure => absent?
resources { service: purge => true } # will disable all services not explicitly
enabled in your manifest after applying this patch, ensuring only the services
you want running are indeed running...
Here's the patch:
