[ros-users] clarifying package installation 'best practices'?

If you are using puppet it's a quick way to install ROS. It's available
from Puppet Forge as `tfoote/ros`

It's currently a proof of concept level demonstration that works for Ubuntu
and the default installation. It is not yet parameterized beyond which
rosdistro you want to install and from which repo to install.
