As far as I know this is because dpkg is seeing that selinux is available and is trying to use it, but Android's selinux doesn't work like ordinary Linux's selinux and dpkg can't talk to it; so it error outs. I've been unable to find a solution --- I've pretty much had to stop using Debian in chroots on Android. I would love to find a way to tell the Debian chroot that selinux isn't available and it shouldn't even try to talk to it. However I can't find one.
