Role Variables

This role uses the apt package manager on Debian based hosts.
But for some operating systems the `ansible_os_family` variable is not set to "Debian" by the fact gathering even if it is Debian based (like Mendel GNU/Linux on the Google Coral Dev Board).
- `override_os_family`: Set to "Debian" in the host inventory, if `ansible_os_family` is not set correctly
