add the preseeded_package define which simplifies apt preseeding

automatically making sure that the preseeding directories are present
and pulling the seed file from templates/$debian_version/$name.seeds
which enables you to define things such as:

apt::preseeded_package { [ locales, popularity-contest, apt-listchanges, apticron]: }

and the .seed files will be automatically pulled and populated
