Puppet users - Dec 2012 - adding repositories to sources.list

Dear puppet community!

I need to add some repositories to sources.list to be able to install sun 
jdk:

deb-src http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main non-free
deb-src http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ lenny main non-free
deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ lenny main non-free

I was looking for the best approach for it and decided to try 
puppetlabs/apt module. Eventually I came out with the following script:

class repositories {
    include apt

    apt::source { ''sun_java'':
        location => "http://security.debian.org/",
        release => "squeeze/update",
        repos => "main non-free",
        include_src => true,
    }

    apt::source { ''sun_java2'':
        location => "http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/",
        repos => "main non-free",
        include_src => true,
    }

    package { ''sun_java'':
        ensure => installed,
        require => [ Apt::Source[''sun_java''],
Apt::Source[''sun_java2''] ],
    }
}
include repositories


the questions are:
1) how can I added all repositories using one apt::source?
2) I had to write specific release ("squeeze/update").. Is here a way
to
tell just updates and apt module will generate ${os_version}/update 
release? (it depends on Debian version, can be lenny/updates...)
3) seems that after adding new repositories puppet tries to install package 
sun-java... I do not know why, but I get the following error: "Unable to 
locate package sun-java"..  why it happens? should I just ignore it, or 
there is a way to control?
4) any other improvements (best practices?) can you suggest?

Generally speaking, you should be managing files in the sources.list.d 
directory instead of managing lines in a single file.

also (generally speaking), you can

 apt::source {
   foo:
    ensure => present;
  bar:
    ensure => absent;
}

The "style guide" frowns upon this syntax but it is far superior due
to the
manifest''s reduced size and cleaner organization.

thanks for reply and another way to write it. And yes, in result I get two 
files in sources.list.d directory. Is here any way to make it 1? I tried 
something like:

apt::source {
  foo:
    location => [ ''first_location'',
''second_location'' ]
    ...
}

but it does not work... I know that in my case it actually won''t work 
because I have 2 different releases (squeeze/update and squeeze), but in 
general? Maybe everything I can do is just following your advice about 
writing style...
