As Rudy said, we are able to parse the pkgutil output as-is, though it
would be great if there was a "quieter" mode for pkgutil as it can be
quite noisy.  It's difficult to determine where the noise ends and the
package listings begin.

For example, with use_gpg checked, pkgutil outputs "Checking integrity"
messages and gpg itself outputs key information.  If a catalog has to be
fetched (say catalog_update is 0, or expiry has been reached), then we
get information about which files are being fetched, plus wget output
(if -q isn't used).

I intend to start up a patch thread soon on puppet-dev with the combined
commits from James, Maciej, Rudy and me to begin the process of getting
the provider included.

Regards,
