Evan, As for #1, I'd recommend using the Puppet Labs apt repository at http://apt.puppetlabs.com. If you want an easy way to add the repository, download and install the following deb: http://apt.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs-release_1.0-2_all.deb, and it will add the source and the repo public key to apt for you.
And for #2, it probably depends on how you have squeeze-backports pinned for apt. It seems to be using the lucid repository to find dpkg, but is using squeeze-backports for puppet.
