Hi,

        I understand that SELinux and policies are not subjects which
 a number of users are used to, but I don't think that educating users
 in basic SELinux administration is the job of reference policy postinst
 scripts. I'll add something to the README.

        May I suggest:
 load_policy(8) - load a new policy into the kernel
                        (belongs to policycoreutils)
  load_policy is the tool used to load/replace the policy in the
  kernel.  By default, load_policy will preserve the current policy
  boolean values when loading the policy.

 semodule(8) - Manage SELinux policy modules.
                        (belongs to policycoreutils)
  semodule is the tool used to manage SELinux policy modules,
  including installing, upgrading, listing and removing modules.
  semodule may also be used to force a rebuild of policy from the
  module store and/or to force a reload of policy without performing
  any other transaction.  semodule acts on module packages created by
  semodule_package.  Conven‐tionally, these files have a .pp suffix
  (policy package), although this is not mandated in any way.


        Also things to read up on are:
