It's been implied that people will be basicly *forced* to use selinux, so couldn't it be easier to have a coreutils-selinux package on the side? just like how the kernel team maintain a couple different branches of the kernel at the same time. There are people that *REFUSE* to use selinux (personal/political/etc... reasons), if "coreutils" is made absolutely dependant on libselinux1, then the user gets no choice...
Personally, I am one of the above. Sadly however there is becoming a lack of distributions that provide such a choice. Anyway, such may have been discussed way before I subscribed to debian-devel, or I may have just missed it. If so, could someone kindly let me know, and point me to an Archive about it?
