Do you want to do something like check if a package is installed and
if it is then set some alias, then this should work:

if(dpkg -s pacakgename | grep "Status: install ok installed")
    alias='something'
fi

then just put that into the /etc/profile (I dont know cfengine/puppet
so cant help you with that).
