Here Be Dragons

This module works through some interesting catalogue hackery. The aptmirror::source defined type doesn't actually do anything, it just acts as way to store data about the sources in your Puppet catalogue. In the /etc/apt/mirror.list template, we inspect the catalogue, pull out all the aptmirror::source instances and use their values to populate the template. This is done so that you can specify aptmirror::source dynamically anywhere in your manifests without having to go back and modify a static list of sources in the aptmirror class definition.
