This is what I was thinking as well, but I would just have moved the functions into util.linux, but it doesnt really matter which approach we use. Maybe we could do something like:

```python
import platform

dist = platform.dist()[0]
if dist in ('redhat', 'centos',):
   import RhelUtils as distUtils
elif dist in ('debian', 'ubuntu',):
   import DebianUtils as distUtils
else:
   # Do something here, like error out or warn...
   pass

distUtils.deactivate_service_block()
```
