There's no particular reason that puppet is i686. I just built it that
way because it had minimal requirements - didn't need a 64-bit address
space and using i686 reduced the memory usage a bit more.

If we got to a point where we had a uniform x86_64 package set, puppet
could definitely be reinstalled to match.
