Package requiring a class

[kai]

I have the following two resources defined in a class:

class openvz::install {

$openvz_repo_key = hiera('openvz_repo_key')

$openvz_repo = hiera('openvz_repo')

$openvz_kernel_image = hiera('openvz_kernel_image')

$openvz_kernel_headers = hiera('openvz_kernel_headers')

apt::source { "openvz":
    location => "$openvz_repo",
    release => "wheezy",
    repos => "main",
    http_key => "$openvz_repo_key",
    http_key_server => "$openvz_repo"
  }

  package {
    'libvirt-bin': ensure => present;
    'vzctl': ensure => present;
  }

}

where apt:source is an external class in a module. In most cases the package resource will run before the apt::source, causing it to fail as the apt repo is not there yet. 
How can I make the package resource dependent on the apt::source ? I am assuming using the "require" attribute, but in this case I am not quite sure what the best practice might be. All suggestions are highly appreciated.

Just to clarify, apt::source is a defined resource type, not a class.  Defined resource types can be required like any other resource, for example

package { [ 'libvirt-bin', 'vzctl' ]:

  ensure => present,

  require => Apt::Source['openvz'],
}
