[Scott Moser <ssmoser2+ubuntu@xxxxxxxxx>]

This is an interesting set of changes.
In order to configure salt, you have to know details of 2 things
a.) the distribution
b.) salt software

Generally knowledge of the distribution has been in the distribution class and the software in the 'config module' (cc_salt).

You've mostly maintained that here.

It seems to me that information about how to install software X on distribution Y is actually more closely coupled to the software X than the distribution.

So it feels to me that its better to just keep distro specific knowledge of a given package in the config module rather than putting it into the distro.

Does that make sense?

Thoughts?
