## Feature Request ##

The Puppet Enterprise installer when operating in unattended installation mode
(answers file) should facilitate the setting of custom facts via the
factor-dot-d system. The answers file should accept a variable prefix form
which specifies a custom fact to set. For example:

Given the answers file:

    q_fail_on_unsuccessful_master_lookup=n
    q_install=y
    q_puppet_cloud_install=n
    q_puppet_enterpriseconsole_install=n
    q_puppet_symlinks_install=y
    q_puppetagent_certname=`hostname -f || hostname`
    q_puppetagent_install=y
    q_puppetagent_server=puppet
    q_puppetca_install=n
    q_puppetmaster_install=n
    q_vendor_packages_install=y
    q_facterdotdfact_deploy_type=manual
    q_facterdotdfact_deploy_environment=aws

The following text should be installed in
/etc/puppetlabs/facter/facts.d/puppet_enterprise_installer_custom.txt (or
possibly just alongside the rest of the installer facts in
/etc/puppetlabs/facter/facts.d/puppet_enterprise_installer.txt):

deploy_type=manual
deploy_environment=aws

### Example Shell Code ###

An example implementation might at the appropriate time during the install
process do something like:

facterdotd_prefix='q_facterdotd_fact_'
facterdotd_dest='/etc/puppetlabs/facter/facts.d/puppet_enterprise_installer_custom.txt'
set | sed -n "s/^$facterdotd_prefix\(.*\)/\1/p" >> "$facterdotd_dest"
