It's not a workaround, it's the only valid syntax.
As mentioned in the other reply, there can only be a single command per 
Exec* line.
You can have multiple ExecStartPre lines or a single ExecStartPre line 
using sh -c " ". Within that shell you can run multiple commands as you 
wish, basically do anything.

I personally prefer the multiple ExecStartPre lines though, as it makes 
it easier to debug on failures. You'll see exactly which line failed 
(and its error code)

And if you have a ExecStart=sh -c " " command which is complex and spans 
multiple lines, my recommendation is to move that into a separate, 
external shell script that can be called directly fro ExecStart=
