Description
I want to use the cmdline_args parameter of the host.install_package method on install_puppet_agent_on to inject the argument "-o Dpkg::Options::='--force-confold'".
I have some files already present that are also inside the puppet agent package and right now beaker gets stuck on the interactive apt install dialog where it asks me if it is okay to overwrite these files.
It is the second parameter of this method call:

Research direction
Start in lib/beaker-puppet/install_utils/foss_utils.rb at the install_puppet_agent_on call referenced on line 437, and trace the existing host.install_package arguments. Confirm how cmdline_args should be exposed there; the issue is done when the requested dpkg option can be passed without the apt install becoming interactive.
