If by "third party" you mean "not the puppet developers", Launchpad has one for Natty Narwhal; the "Published versions" sections has links for e.g. puppet 2.6.4-2ubuntu1 in i386, puppet 2.6.4-2ubuntu1 in amd64.

Official up to date version can be found from Debian Wheezy (testing) repository at http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/puppet.
You don't mention the distribution you use, but here's instructions for Debian Squeeze.
How to use up to date version of Puppet in Debian Squeeze (stable)?
Create a file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20release with content:
APT::Default-Release "stable";
Create a file /etc/apt/preferences.d/20puppet with content:
Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 1
Package: puppet
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 1001
Package: puppet-common
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 1001
Package: puppetmaster
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 1001
Package: puppetmaster-common
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 1001
Create a file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/20testing.list with content:
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ testing main
Run:
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

mixing packages from testing into a stable release is a bad idea. especially is security is a concern – stew Mar 23 '11 at 20:21
