$interfaces might only be one of several cases in which I expected
an array, but puppet actually just gives me a string. That's silly.
Please convert appropriate facts into arrays.

Thank you for the bug report.

Since this is not a packaging issue, I have forwarded it upstream, and
you can follow it at <http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4395>.

We will keep this bug open, and track the state of the upstream bug.

Hello,

It looks like what you're missing is on the feature list for facter 2.0,
where they aim for real data structures, instead of key=value strings.

I'm also downgrading the severity to "wishlist" in the meantime, since
it's a feature request.
