So we had a discussion on #puppet-openstack channel, and Alex's main
concern was people should be able to continue to be able to edit a file
(it was .fixtures.yaml, it will be a Puppetfile now) to run tests
against custom dependencies (modules + version can be whatever you like).

It has been addressed in the last patchset:
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/226830/21..22/Rakefile,cm

So in your care, you'll have to:

1/ Build your Puppetfile that contains your custom deps (instead of
editing the .fixtures.yaml)
2/ Export PUPPETFILE=/path/Puppetfile
3/ Run `rake rspec` like before.

This solution should make happy everyone:

* Default usage (on my laptop) will test the same things as Puppet
OpenStack CI
* Allow to use Depends-On in OpenStack CI
* Allow to customize the dependencies for downstream CI by creating a
Puppetfile and exporting its path.

Deal?
