Puppet users - Jul 2010 - playing nicely with foreman

I currently have  a define for setting up files in /etc/apt/preferences.d
for different packages on different machines:

define apt::preferences (
  $pattern,
  $pin,
  $pin_priority) {

  $cont = "Package: #{pattern}
               Pin: #{pin}
               Pin-Priority: #{pin_priority}"
  file{"/etc/apt/preferences.d/${name}.list":
     ensure => $ensure,
     content => $cont,
     owner => root,
     group => root,
     mode => 0644
  }
}

And in my site.pp I have:

apt::preferences {"sun-java6-jdk":
    pattern => "sun-java6-jdk",
    pin => "release a=testing",
    pin_priority => "991"
  }
  apt::preferences {"sun-java6-jre":
    pattern => "sun-java6-jre",
    pin         => "release a=lenny-backports",
    pin_priority => "991"
  }
  apt::preferences {"sun-java6-bin":
    pattern => "sun-java6-bin",
    pin         => "release a=lenny-backports",
    pin_priority => "991"
  }

This works fine in a regular puppet install but I''m not sure how to get
this
to work with foreman given that I need to call this define several times.
Any ideas?

usage of defines in node blocks and external nodes never played nicely, your
best way at the moment, would be to create classes which you can include via
Foreman.

(Once hashes becomes part of puppet e.g. in 2.6 - I''m guessing it would
be
much easier).
