Yes, I understand that ... therefore you need two versions of puppet 
installed in parallel. There was proposal to prepare puppet3 package, 
while I think that the correct way is to move puppet to version 3 and 
prepare new puppet2 or compat-puppet package.

Once you introduce version into the name, you will never be able to get 
rid of it, although puppet 4 might be 100% compatible with puppet 3 and 
I hope you don't like to have package puppet3-4.x in the future.
