[Pkg-puppet-devel] Bug#573430: provide $vardir/modules

[martin f krafft]

Package: puppet
Version: 0.25.4-2
Severity: wishlist

The idea comes from David Schmitt's common module, which creates
/var/lib/puppet/modules/common to store stuff the module needs.
I think it would make sense to create /var/lib/puppet/modules by the
puppet package so that other modules can just drop their own
directories in there without each and every one of them having to
jump through hoops to ensure existence of the parent.
