Puppet handling of virtual packages is not optimal: on each run we get:
Notice: /Stage[main]/Newrelic_plugins::Aws_cloudwatch/Package[libxslt-dev]/ensure: ensure changed 'purged' to 'present'
because libxslt-dev is not found as installed, and when we install it, being a virtual package, it installs libxslt1-dev
So better to use directly libxslt1-dev for idempotency.
