For those interested in squashing this bug, I'll share my analysis. A dependency from a udeb on a non-udeb is outright wrong. The reason why it happened here is that when dpkg-shlibdeps is invoked with -tudeb, it disregards .symbols files and just looks at .shlibs files. It primarily looks for lines prefixed with "udeb: ", but failing to find those falls back to regular lines, which happened for libselinux1. The reason for why this happened is that there is no libselinux1-udeb. This leaves three ways of fixing this bug: 1) Remove libmount1-udeb. There is no user within d-i anyway (verify this claim, before actually doing so). 2) Build util-linux twice, once with selinux for .deb and once without selinux for .udeb. After choosing this option #581631 is easy to fix as well. 3) Teach libselinux to provide libselinux1-udeb and rebuild util-linux. None of these options look like they should be done via a NMU.
