What happened here was the $codename = $::lsbdistcodename was removed from
init.pp and replaced with just $::lsbdistcodename whereever $codename was
used. Then in the sources.list.erb and preferences files things were changed
like this:
<pre>+### Debian current: <%= codename = scope.lookupvar('::lsbdistcodename') %>
...
-deb <%= debian_url %> <%= codename %> <%= repos %>
...
+deb <%= debian_url=scope.lookupvar('apt::debian_url') %> <%= codename %> <%= repos=scope.lookupvar('apt::repos') %>
</pre>
This meant that the codename was always set to lsbdistcodename, and you because
in newer puppet versions you cannot assign a value to a top-level facter
variable, it is not possible to change this.
Because we cannot change $lsbdistcodename, we have to fix this by allowing the
user to pass a different, non-top-level scoped variable to the class as a
parameter, which defaults to $::lsbdistcodename, so that upgrades can be
triggered.
This is documented in the README in an upgrade notice

... else the first block added by apt::preferences_snippet is in the same
paragraph as the last block provided by the template.

Lenny's APT does not support pinning like this:
Pin: release o=Debian,n=<%= codename %>
We therefore switched (in commit ef2ebdffd) to:
Pin: release o=Debian,a=<%= release %>
With such a pinning setup, when Squeeze is released, systems using this module
with $apt_use_next_release set to true would immediately switch to prefer
packages from Squeeze. If an automated upgrade process is setup, they would be
automatically upgraded to Squeeze.
This does not sound safe to me, so let's use the release version number as an
additional selection criterion to prevent upgrades to Squeeze to happen behind
our back:
Pin: release o=Debian,a=<%= release %>,v=<%= release_version %>*
Note that the trailing '*' is intentional and necessary to match stable
point-releases.

the templates/Debian/preferences_lenny.erb file checked in with
e2f80db7b76171e5945127e2fd42fb35043990fb contains pinning based on codename,
which is not supported in lenny (see #433624 - if you look at the version graph,
you see, "Fixed in version 0.7.21", and lenny has 0.7.20.2+lenny1.)
