We need the package to be declared even when we don't install it, since there's code that depends on it. Our current approach is to always declare it, which works if the package is installed by something else than Puppet (eg: chocolatey), since our declaration would not try to install it again and the code that depends on that declaration would still be happy. However, in case the package is being installed by a different Puppet module, it would fail with a `Duplicate declaration` error.
