There should be no architecture dependencies in this script, so it should be enough to build one package for all architectures.
Whats this and why?
This script is intended for icinga/nagios/icinga2 to check the state of a systemd service. We check the ServiceState and the Substate.
This tools uses dbus to gather needed informations, as systemd-developer Lennart Poettering says it is the right way to do and cli output is not stable and should not be parsed.
