On Debian systems, when using the distribution package, the Varnish modules are available in the varnish-modules package. VMODs are an important part of more complex Varnish configurations and currently the role does not support installing additional packages.
Although the vendor packages (packagecloud.io) don't include VMOD-support at all (it seems), it is possible to install them using the distribution packages - at least on Debian, I haven't verified if the RedHat distribution and/or vendor packages supply VMODs.
It would be great if this role would support an additional install of varnish-modules on Debian systems with distribution packages.
