The right answer to these problems is almost always that you have a
`file { ".../foo": ensure => present }` resource in Puppet: that will
put it in place if the file is not present, using whatever source you
give, but will not touch the content of an existing file.
If you are using a recursive file resource to put the rest of the
content in place around this, no problem, because the more specific
file resource will override the recursive one, and you won't
overwrite. :)
