Putting steps from https://repo.saltstack.com/index.html#ubuntu should 
this contain:

1) some state to add apt-key

2) have file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d If it one line there, file state 
should be enough.

3) state install pkg should stay same?

4) trigger update / upgrade / restart manually, using clusterssh?
