Yes, do, but that's not the problem.

That is mistaken.  Generally speaking, the default value for 'ensure'
parameters is "present" or some equivalent value.  There has to be
some default value because otherwise the resource declaration is
meaningless.  Puppet's default might actually be "file" for this
resource type, but it makes no actual difference in this case.
