+  gluon-state-check executes checks in `/lib/gluon/state/check.d/` and provides
+  a flag file for each check in `/var/gluon/state` depending on the return code
+  of the check. A flag file is created (or "touched") if the corresponding check
+  exits cleanly and gets removed otherwise. If the flags are "touched", they
+  are only accessed, but not modified. In this way, the atime of a flag file
+  reflects when the last check was performed and the mtime reflects when
+  when the state was last changed.
+
+  This package provides the following checks:
+  - `has_default_gw6` - check whether the router has a default IPv6-route on br-client.
+
+  The checks are executed once every minute (by micron.d).
