Super cool. :-)

I meant implementing a new type like aptrepo there. Actually the best
design decision would be: rename yumrepo as packagerepo, split some of
the code as a provider yumrepo, add new code for a provider aptrepo. But
that isn't easy as pie and it requires ruby knowledge, apt and puppet
internals. This is the elegant, but complex solution. Now I'm balabbering.
Distro change requires a lot of work, so I wouldn't recommend that that
easily (and I didn't).
