Copied this from the issue #5. Do not think it is needed. Could fix this and squash if you prefer this

There is no equivalent package of linux-headers-generic on debian. Package installation needs to specify the architecture (i.e. amd64), which is captured from dpkg output.

Before Archlinux was split out using ansible_os_family. But since ansible_os_family overlaps for Debian and Ubuntu, two when statements were used to split out these cases: - All arch derivations - Debian - Ubuntu New style is cleaner. Arch derivations can still be used by overiding ansible_distribution in inventory.

I (just) tested this role locally using a set-up with 3 clean vagrant virtual machines and the VPN came up as expected 🙂. |

There is a funny thing happening here by the way. In the ansible -m setup localhost output there is facter_os.architecture which contains amd64.
In ansible_architecture this is normalized to 'x86_64' and not usable.

I can find this variables:
"ansible_architecture": "x86_64",
"ansible_machine": "x86_64",
"ansible_userspace_architecture": "x86_64",
But none with amd64. But at least it is consistent and AFAIK it's also the official declaration for a x86 64bit CPU.

x86_64 is the consistent way of describing the architecture. On some machines I see the following - but definitely out of scope for this change. Possibly good for the dkms-headers role:
# ansible -m setup localhost | sed -e 's/.* =>//g' | jq '.ansible_facts.facter_os'

I'll merge this now. Thx for your contribution! |
Add support for Debian based on the documentation in debian wiki
and discussion in #5.
Condition for apt cache refresh ("only if Ubuntu") was removed since
the file is only included on Ubuntu.
