I thought the point of discussing pre-depends in advance was to (1) discourage using pre-depends, since they can make upgrades slower or in the worst case impossible; and (2) make it very difficult to produce a Pre-Depends loop by accident. So I am not sure where the question of novelty comes in. > so I'd say: go ahead. Still, I agree with the conclusion. This sounds to me like useful functionality for systems with SELinux enabled, implemented in a good way.
