+This package contains a module for use by puppet. It is
+automatically added to the module load path of puppet's default
+environment, and should be ready for use.
+
+You can use "update-alternatives --config puppet-module-starlingx-patching"
+to configure which module should appear in the module path of the
+default puppet environment, in case multiple modules which provide
+the same name are installed.

+Description: Puppet module for StarlingX patching
+ Puppet lets you centrally manage every important aspect of your system using a
+ cross-platform specification language that manages all the separate elements
+ normally aggregated in different files, like users, cron jobs, and hosts,
+ along with obviously discrete elements like packages, services, and files.
+ .
+ This module manages both the installation and configuration of patching.
