AwsPlatform nodetype deployment fails when executed from within virtualenv

When the deployment using the AwsPlatform nodetype is triggered by an application within a Python virtual environment (virtualenv), the hardcoded --user flags for the pip install commands in the configure.yaml [1] seem to lead to an error message and a failure of the respective deployment.
ERROR: Can not perform a '--user' install. User site-packages are not visible in this virtualenv."
Once the --user flag was removed manually/locally, the issue went away.
In my opinion the playbooks should only alter user- or system-wide state if really necessary. Otherwise, maybe doing that in a virtualenv would be better suited.
