Not by much, nor by any version difference that is consequential:

debian:
    puppet |   0.24.5-3 |        stable | source, all
    puppet |   0.25.5-1 |       testing | source, all
    puppet |   0.25.5-1 |      unstable | source, all
    puppet |    2.6.0-1 |  experimental | source, all
bpo:
    puppet | 0.25.4-2~bpo50+1 | lenny-backports | source, all

I try to keep the backport current and in line with the testing
version. But i am very busy with organizing Debconf right now, so I am
not sure when I will be able to bump that.

Honestly, you should not be running etch, it is no longer
supported. Support ended for etch on 2010-02-15.
