Right, I'm not sure if the packaging of those puppet modules was a good
idea either.

Ok.

What value does the Debian package add here? It's not like such a
deployment will be automatic without further configuration of salt...
and you can use salt rules to download your desired salt formulas.
Having dependencies on a salt formula does not add any value either
since the code is running on other hosts (minions).

Hum, there are many modules there that seem to use the same namespace
as other modules hosted here:
https://github.com/saltstack-formulas/
Yet they seem to be different implementations...
