Dynamic Package Installs?

[Joaquin Menchaca]

Currently I have the following. 

  tasks:
    - name: install the Debian packages
      apt: name={{ item }} state=latest
      with_items: "{{ packages }}"
      when: ansible_os_family == "Debian"

    - name: install the RedHat packages
      yum: pkg={{ item }} state=latest
      with_items: "{{ packages }}"
      when: ansible_os_family == "RedHat"

Is there anyway to have one task?  I have packages array dynamically created.  I wish at least I can just have tasks completely ignored if it is on the wrong OS, so it won't be included....

Would it be possible to do something like this?

  tasks:
    - include: "tasks/{{ ansible_os_family }}.yml"

I get this error

ERROR: file could not read: /Users/testuser/testarea/provisioning/tasks/{{ ansible_os_family }}.yml
