Hi,

I've set up a puppet class that allows you to use a project-local debian
repository to install test versions of packages before promoting them to
the wikimedia debian repo for global availability.  The puppet class is
named 'labsdebrepo' and is in the 'building' group.  The full details of
how to run the process are at
https://labsconsole.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Using_debs_in_labs.

Long story short - if you want to use puppet to install a debian package
that is ahead of what's available or test installing a package that's not
in the main ubuntu repositories, you can now add it to a repo that is
available to all hosts in your project.  \o/
