It's not hard to whip up your own package though, if you don't mind it 
being a bit ugly:


Grab the Puppet source.

Grab the .diff from the 0.24.7 debian package

Apply the .diff

Fix any conflicts from the .diff

Make any changes you want (like removing the potentially toxic "-w 0")

Hack up the debian/* files a bit, adding a changelog entry to get the 
right version # in place.

dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot


The difference between this, and what a real maintainer does, is that a 
real maintainer has a deep understanding of how the package at hand fits 
together with the rest of the Debian world, and makes additional changes 
(and performs additional testing etc.) to "Debianize" the package more.
