path not honored in requirements.yml for 2.1 ?

Our requirements.yml had entries of the form:

`

  • src: ansiblebit.oracle-java
    path: vendor/roles/
    name: oracle-java
    `

But how when running galaxy-install these roles are no longer installed in the specified ./vendor/roles directory, but rather into ./roles.

Reading https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/galaxy.html#roles-path it says it uses roles_path, which is defined as:

`
roles_path = roles:vendor/roles

`

If I reverse the order then the requirements.yml roles go the correct directory. But still it seems that the path: attribute is being ignored in 2.x.
I did not read anything about this behavior changing in 2.0. Anybody else running into this?
