+A real solution would be urpmi make a real difference between
+configuration and state data.
+At time it write things in both /etc/urpmi and /var/lib/urpmi, even
+there is no change real change in urpmi.cfg.
+
+Such plugin for puppet must be written in ruby, I haven't plan to learn
+ruby right now.
+
+I will also argue the media name is not enough to ensure the urpmi
+config use the right distro on the server I want.
+
