As follow-up in case someone wants to take this over in the future:

puppet-powerdns is used only in puppet-designate. old and new package are
not backwards compatible but it should be quite easy to just coordinate tje
package change preparation in RDO with the upstream change to implement the
required changes.

Old and new modules are not backwards compatible. This is the hardest one.
To ease the transition we could treat them as different packages with
different names and play with dependencies but both modules can not live
together so it'd require change between all projects involved,
puppet-neutron, puppet-tripleo, packstack and puppet-openstack-integration.
Definitively it will take time to coordinate all changes and make a smooth
transition.

>> puppetlabs/puppetlabs-vcsrepo -> voxpupuli/puppet-git_resource

- This shouldn't be big issue, it's just two different unrelated modules,
so both modules could live together in the transition.
