FYI, I have here a package working for the puppet agent 6.9.0 (with some
ruby warning). Basically, I just needed to package ruby-semantic-puppet,
add ruby-concurrent and ruby-sync as runtime depends, and the agent
seems to work out of the box.

Passenger is gone from upstream, apparently, so this goes away from the
package. "puppet master" is gone too, if I understand well, because it's
replaced by puppetserver.

I've tried to look at how to package puppetserver, though I'm kind of
stuck not knowing where to start.

Does anyone of the team have any pointers? Unlike for the agent, there's
no source package for puppetserver upstream.

Cheers,
