Our Puppet version is 4.8.2-5 across trusty, jessie and stretch. (4.8.2-5 is what is actually in stretch)
It was tested to build 4.8.2-5 for buster, that turned out to be a major rabbit role; Puppet 4 is incompatible with Ruby 2.5 (which is in buster) and building a separate ruby2.3 on buster fails as 2.3 requires OpenSSL 1.0.2 which is no longer in buster.
On buster we'll use Puppet 5 on the client side. Eventually the rest of the fleet and the puppet masters will also be migrated to 5.

If you would like to test, we now have a VPS base image for buster in wmcs. You can use it in the 'testlabs' project, or I can add it to a project of your choice.
Oh, I think I used the wrong task for my changes. Sorry about that, I will rename the task to prevent further confusion.

[operations/puppet@production] Add empty file for buster

The only strange things I see in puppet runs on a couple of buster instances I deal with are this:
Notice: /Stage[main]/Nrpe/Package[nagios-plugins]/ensure: created Notice: /Stage[main]/Nrpe/Package[nagios-plugins-basic]/ensure: created Notice: /Stage[main]/Nrpe/Package[nagios-plugins-standard]/ensure: created
These packages are in stretch but don't appear in buster?
This is fixed by https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/operations/puppet/+/494681/, but it's currently waiting on the remaining trusty servers in production to go away.
