Research direction
Start by reading update.sh and locate how the VARIANT option is matched. Use the issue's current and suggested matching tables as acceptance criteria, including wildcard grouping for OS families while preserving exact matching without a wildcard. Verify the behavior against the listed Alpine, Bullseye, Bookworm, and Trixie examples.

Description
Problem
The update.sh script requires an exact match of the VARIANT option when targeting specific variants. No grouping within operating system families is provided for.
Current matching
| VARIANT | matches | does not match |
|---|---|---|
| alpine | - | alpine3.23 alpine3.24 |
| bullseye | bullseye | bullseye-slim |
| bookworm | bookworm | bookworm-slim |
| trixie | trixie | trixie-slim |
Solution
Suggest to allow grouping by operating system when VARIANT specified with wildcard (*).
Suggested matching
| VARIANT | matches |
|---|---|
| alpine* | alpine3.23 alpine3.24 |

| bookworm* | bookworm bookworm-slim |
| trixie* | trixie trixie-slim |
