This was an ancient workaround where puppet didn't properly depend on puppet-common. On Debian Jessie puppet already depends on puppet-common and everything newer has made puppet-common a dummy transitional package. This means we can remove the special case and fall back to the general else case.

Remove Debian package special case
This was an ancient workaround where puppet didn't properly depend on
puppet-common. On Debian Jessie puppet already depends on puppet-common
and everything newer has made puppet-common a dummy transitional
package. This means we can remove the special case and fall back to the
general else case.
