Command line options override config files like ansible.cfg, but
not inventory data or playbook directives. This allows us to over-
ride remote_user with `-u` on the command line to log in as root
before we have set up the provisioning user.

We stopped being able to do dynamic includes from the playbooks around
Ansible 2.4.0.0 if I recall correctly. Instead we can create a task to
include the variables and make it always run by using the special tag.
For now the Debian and Ubuntu vars files are the same, but I will keep
them separate so that it is more flexible in the future.
Something seems to have happened as of Ansible 2.4.0.0 where this no
longer works. I suspect it is related to the major changes to static
and dynamic imports that landed around this same time.
We make sure that this tasks always runs by using the special tag of
the same name.
Sometimes we mean Ubuntu, other times we mean Debian family. Use
ansible_os_family where we mean Debian family.

I think it's a good idea to only run/include a role if the remote host
is running Ubuntu OS - doesn't hurt to do an extra check even though
the README clearly assumes so.

I was using ansible_os_family to get settings for Debian-family
hosts, but this doesn't work so well when you have an apt_mirror
which is only Debian or Ubuntu, for example.
I don't have any Debian hosts here, but anyways, it's better this
way so I can be more flexible in the future.
