Is there some way of making this check it is necessary? It would be way too excessive to have node reinstall itself every time we run through ansible.

Since posting this issue I've created my own Ansible implementation of NVM and I no longer use nodesource.

If you were to do so, you should check for an existing install, register a variable with the currently installed version and provide some logic to determine if it should be uninstalled first.

apt: pkg=nodejs={{ nodejs_version }}.* state=installed update_cache=yes
