One of the things I did that was useful during my rollout of 0.24.8 with custom patches was to split out the puppetq into a separate package from puppetmaster.  This makes sense to me because the way puppetq is intended to work is independent of the puppetmaster (usually on two different servers, thus separating the load).  I'm not much of a debian packager (the novices make fun of me) but I'd like to help see this change through if it seems like a good idea to everyone.


Hey Digant, good to see you here :)

So we've recently split things up so we have puppet-common, puppet,
and puppetmaster debs. We've put puppetqd into the puppetmaster
package.

I've yet to do much more than play with queuing, so you can describe
the scenario you have where you'd want puppetqd on a host that doesn't
have puppetmasterd installed?
