Puppet users - Aug 2011 - Facts as environment variables not been picked up in ubuntu.

Folks,
I am adding a line to /etc/profile to export a FACT like this: export
FACTER_system_role=<system_role>.
In ubuntu, running puppet 2.6.4 and facter 1.5.8, this fact is not
making it to the server.
If I run sudo env | grep FACTER i see all facter related env variables
there..
What could be the reason for this not working?

Thanks in advance.

I found a solution for this problem which I am not sure it is the most
elegant but works fine.
I am adding the export FACTER_* statement to /etc/default/puppet
This way it is guarantee the variables will be available to puppet and
facter.
