Thanks for the reply.

I define this in `defaults/main.yml`. I didnt mention it as im not sure how
that could make a difference.

im failing to see how what you are suggesting is different to what i've
mentioned already with:
> If i change the definition to `debian_based_system: '{{ ansible_os_family
== "Debian" or ansible_os_family == "Linuxmint" }}'`,
This gives me a warning 'when statements should not include jinja2
templating delimiters'
Cheers,
