I've uploaded 2.7.1-1 to unstable.

It is not packaged with gem2deb, since gem2deb does not yet properly
support multiple binary packages from one single package. (or --sbindir,
or do-not-build-extensions-dammit)

I'll follow up with the gem2deb people, and try to contribute what I can
there. The code is understandable, even for a non-programmer like me.

gem2deb is not too far away, though; running "gem2deb -p puppet puppet"
will produce a single-package puppet, that'll work with both ruby1.8 and
ruby1.9. It just does not contain any of the "sbin" scripts :)

Until then, puppet is packaged for ruby1.8 using the current packaging.

That will also have the bonus of making the Ubuntu packaging ever so
slightly infinitely easier, since gem2deb is oneiric/universe. :)
