     package {
         "fancy-package":
             ensure => installed,
             source => "http://yum/yum/repo/5/i386/
 verycoolrpm..noarch.rpm",
             provider => rpm,
     }

If you don't set the provider explicitly puppet tries to choose the best
one for you.

A patch with a few line of changes could make puppet aware of your
customized appliance and choose the right provider automatically.
