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.
In practice this achieves the same function, but without the "magic"
ability to use one task for different operating systems.

We make sure that this tasks always runs by using the special tag of
the same name.
Ansible 2.4 changes the way includes work. Now you have to use "import"
for playbooks and tasks that are static, and "include" for those that
are dynamic (ie, those that use variables, loops, etc).
See: http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/playbooks_reuse_includes.html
Note: I've only tested this on a Debian container, and you can't
set these sysctls on containers (the host controls them). To make
matters worse, there is no fact to make ansible skip this on hosts
that are running in containers. For now I will just skip it on
hosts that are "virtualization" servers... even though we actually
do have KVM running on Debian on real hardware. *sigh*

All servers with non-rotating disks (SSDs) should be running noop,
and the rest should be running deadline.

I think it was originally supposed to be `ansible_os_family` but
we don't have anything other than Ubuntu, so let's just use that.
