Hi David, I've seen a setup that has an exec which fires apt-get update. This exec has refreshonly => true. All Apt::Source resources are instantiated via a profile class kicking off create_resources. All Apt::Source resources notify the apt-get update exec.
I think something similar to that should give you the ability to have a class/package require the apt-get update exec, and achieve the behavior you desire.
