Thanks for the reply, Brian.
I have looked into librarian-puppet, a good tool, just like ruby bundler.
Will give it a try.
And I'm also interested in your alternative way to organise your module.
Could you explain more on that? What the modules directory structure look
like? Just like the following?
/etc/puppet/modules/{library_modules, your_module_a, your_module_z}
