Well, for puppet 4 we could add a puppet-terminus-puppetdb binary 
package to the puppet source. I don't think it makes sense to upload the 
PuppetDB source just for a couple of Ruby files which are not a direct 
part of PuppetDB anyway.

I'll probably add a new README file for that.

Sure, I'll make a note for that. We also need to document a couple of 
other issues, including the fact that PuppetDB is not yet packaged etc.
