Somewhere between ansible [core 2.14.4] and ansible [core 2.15.0] the logic for the distribution_version Ansible fact got changed. With the newer Ansible version Debians distribution_version gets reported as 11.7 as opposed to getting reported as 11 with the old Ansible version. To still allow for useful distribution checks, extend the distribution_check role by allowing the specification of distribution_major_versions and distribution_releases as well. This way you can check for an Ubuntu version by using distribution_version (which for example resolves to 18.04, while distribution_major_version would resolve to 18 in that case) and check for a Debian version by using distribution_major_version (which for example resolves to 11, while distribution_version would resolve to 11.7 in that case).
