Yes, 3.5 fixed puppet's behavior to match yum's with respect to virtual
packages, a long requested feature. See
https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-897 for details.
However, it was a regression wrt *puppet* which took a number of people by
surprise, so in 3.6.1, there's a fix to make the new (3.5-style,
yum-matching) behavior opt-in via a new "allow_virtual" parameter (with the
intent to change the default to be the yum-matching behavior in puppet 4).
See https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-2182 for discussion.
