Thanks for all this information, I will do some more tests to see if I
can achieve my goal (see next paragraph).

The problem is that I want to be able to include the sudo class without
including the aptdater::client class: some node can have sudo managed,
but won't be configured for apt-dater.
I could perhaps use a parametrized class like with something like an
aptdater_client_enabled paramter, but I don't find this very nice...
It's why I am trying to test a variable to see if aptdater::client is
enabled.
Is there another better/cleaner/simpler way of doing this?
