I did that, it looks better :-)
> Similarly for packages lists (more usual), add roles/testnode/vars/ubuntu-aarch64.yml and ubuntu-aarch32.yml for respective specific packages and use an include_vars directive using ansible_distribution and ansible_architecture once in roles/testnode/tasks/vars.yml instead of many when clauses.
I'm not sure I get where the simplification is. When I try this, I end up with more indirection levels and it feels more complicated.

You should be able to follow the HOWTO at http://dachary.org/?p=3939 when you get a chance :-) Or I'll show you.
