set_fact shouldn't be needed for basic variable concation. You can
actually just define a variable that references the other two variable
names and it will work
vars:
"myos" : "{{ ansible_os_family }}-{{ other }}"
etc.
Another handy trick to include distro specific variables is:
tasks:
- include_vars: "{{ ansible_os_family }}.yml"
