Title: Ubuntu support and removing dependency on aptbpo

Thanks for your puppet module. It has saved me a lot of time.

I made a couple of simple changes that you might be interested in. The first being a very simple addition to allow the module to run with Ubuntu machines.

The second change removes the dependency on the aptbpo provider. Although I can see the value in using your aptbpo provider, I find the module more portable if it uses the standard package provider. For instance, I am running under Ubuntu and although your aptbpo provider would work seamlessly, the same could not be said for RedHat based systems.

In the interest of simplicity I removed the dependency on aptbpo provider rather than write additional clauses in package.pp for other distributions.

I did consider adding a simple clause to check to see if the aptbpo provider was installed but I could not find a simple way to achieve this.

Once again, thanks for a great module. It is simple and very well written.
