I organize the root user in the first stage (before apt-get update!) and then everything else in a subsequent stage.
Later I found out that puppet will write files as root:root, 0644 in the default configuration. That meant I could remove many owner, group, mode attributes from my file declarations. It removed many implicit dependencies upon the root user resource and sped up my puppet runs a great deal.
