Not sure what you are asking, but searched on line and found an example
of the file without the strange syntax.

I should mention that before trying to install pulseaudio and
pauvcontrol (and perhaps after installing skype:i386 on my AMD64?) I was
getting warnings rather than errors. When the warning became an error, I
could no longer ignore it.

I installed the skype:i386 by downloading the i386.deb, and then doing:

  # dpkg --add-architecture i386

  I needed libpulse0:i386. I updated and then installed the .deb I had
  downloaded.

I wonder if this somehow garbled the systemd file.
