Puppet users - Sep 2012 - Possible to install own deb packages on nodes?

Dear all =)

I have a few deb packages that I would like to install on some Ubuntu nodes.

This guy explains how to create your own repository, which I think is a 
little overkill for me.

Is it possible to have puppet install the packages from "source => 
puppet:/// ..." or similar?

Hugs,
Sandra

If I understand that article, it describes setting up a "local"
repository
in the sense of "resident on the client for which the packages are 
intended."  That seems strange to me, but I would heartily recommend the 
alternative of a single central repository for your site or organization.  
Put your custom packages there, and use Puppet to point your clients to it 
and tell them which packages to install.

Having a real repository can be a big plus when you need to perform manual 
administration.
