"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

If enabled ``lp_packages_auto=true`` packages in the dynamically
created list *my_packages_auto* will be installed. This includes
packages listed in the variables ``lp_<name>_packages`` where
``lp_<name>_install`` is ``true``


**Create playbook**

.. code-block:: yaml
   :emphasize-lines: 1

   shell> cat lp.yml
   - hosts: test_01
     become: true
     roles:
       - vbotka.linux_postinstall


**Show variables**

Display the variables::

  shell> ansible-playbook lp.yml -t lp_packages_debug -e lp_packages_debug=True

.. code-block:: yaml
