Research direction

Start by inspecting the python module's dev parameter and the existing python-devel package resource. Compare the current behavior with the three requested outcomes for true, false, and undef, then verify the module's existing validation or test setup covers those cases.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I find it very surprising that the following code would uninstall the python-devel package:

include python

I believe there should be three possible outcomes of the dev parameter:

  • true ⇒ ensure present
  • false ⇒ ensure absent
  • undef (default) ⇒ noop
