Package: selinux-policy-default
Version: 1:1.26-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

        The reason for this is apparently the difference in the
 directory layout: the subdir "strict" is missing. I really think we
 should put the sources for the policy in /etc/selinux/; using the
 same dir structure as upstream. We can keep pristine copies in
 /usr/share/selinux as well; but having the current policy, which is
 meant to be admin editable in /usr/share (which may be shared, or
 readonly, and outside the /eyv hierarchy is also, strictly speaking,
 debian policy violation.

        Also, I would much prefer to use debconf, and md5sums for
 policy files, and something like a combination of ucf-like
 functionality and apache modules like single, multiple choice
 checkbox questions to revert changes to local policy files -- one
 single question, not makny, asked through debconf, not otherwise, and
 also only asked once, and then again only if the maintainer version
 has changed.

        I'd be happy to collaborate on the strictly packaging issue,
 leaving you to be in charge of package content
