puppet facts upload used in the fact generation script is able to unintentionally overwrite the environment fact. This adds a feature flag to disable the fact generation shell script. If this script is disabled, the relevant facts will now be resolved within the Facter script itself. This primarily affects the facts generated by package management tools.

@ssanderr this seems to have two drivers. One to disable the fact generation script and one to fix the environment it uploads to. I'm happy fixing the environment side and will take a look at the options there. I'm not convinced of the use case for disabling the fact generation script though. Can you give me more details?
