Without the more of the code on where and how you are generating the template
it's difficult to say, but I believe you are looking for this
{% if hostvars[item].ansible_os_family == "Debian" or
hostvars[item].ansible_os_family == "Ubuntu" %}
or the more cleaner version
{% if hostvars[item].ansible_os_family in ['Debian', 'Ubuntu'] %}
