ansible provisioner leaves an empty directory

[Jaime Hidalgo]

When using ansible provisioner an empty directory is left in the remote user's home directory. This directory's name is the one of the user who run packer (plus this symbol ~).

[root@ip-10-122-151-110 ec2-user]# tree -a /home/ec2-user

/home/ec2-user

├── .bash_history

├── .bash_logout

├── .bash_profile

├── .bashrc

├── ~username

│   └── .ansible

│       └── tmp

└── .ssh

    └── authorized_keys

Is this intended? Or is it a bug?
