For example, setting the +following variable before including this class will pull in the +templates/apt/sources.list file: +$custom_sources_list ='template("apt/sources.list")' + +$custom_preferences +-------------------- +By default this module will use a basic apt/preferences file with +unstable and testing pinned to very low values so that any package +installation will not accidentally pull in packages from those suites +unless you explicitly specify the version number.
