The original puppet-agent source is unmaintained since two years, after
Perforce as new owner abondened everything.  This means this code is
without upstrem and without security support.

There exists a free fork by the Voxpopuli people called openvox.  It
also is 15 releases ahead, at 8.25.0.

Thanks for the bug report.

Indeed, puppet-agent should not be part of the next stable release.

I've opened #1134979 to track the packaging of openvox.
