Bug Description

Binary package hint: puppet

Hi, I'd like the ability, in a .pp file, to do something like:
  Package { provider => "aptitude" }
  package {
    "eclipse":
      provideroptions => ["--without-recommends"]
      ensure => latest;
  }

This could allow me to use aptitude to install packages with dependencies and recommendations, but install eclipse with just its dependencies and not its recommendations.

Thanks,
Jayen
