All versions of Puppet are supported by Foreman, yes, but the Installer
requires 2.6.5 or higher, sadly. Once installed you can always downgrade
puppet if you need to use stable packages 
I personally use the
Puppetlabs Apt repo, but the Backports should be fine too.

I've done brief testing of the squeeze packages on wheezy, and they seem
fine. I've got plans to properly tidy them up and adjust the dependencies
for wheezy in the near future.
Thanks

Hey Greg
Thanks for the fast reply
I tend to go with the puppetlabs repos as well, just wanted to make sure.
Rather use the new versions now than upgrade later…
With puppet 3.1.1 from puppetlabs the installer now fails with this error:
Do you want to run Puppet now with these settings? (y/n)

I've seen this once or twice, but I can't reproduce it, the install is
smooth for me (squeeze is my default test platform). I assume this is the
defaults (i.e the stable foreman repository) - assuming so, if you just
"apt-get install foreman ; apt-get install foreman-sqlite3" does it work
ok?
