7 years and this was never resolved? Not that Ubuntu boots for me
without selinux=0 but I sort of had a heart attack when it removed grub-
EFI in favor of grub-pc on my UEFI only mode machine

I assume it depends on grub-pc because the selinux package modifies
/etc/default/grub to enable selinux at boot time.
I think it should instead depend on grub2-common, which is the package
that actually owns /etc/default/grub

Medium: selinux doesn't actually look like it's core on Ubuntu, so severe
impact on non-core
Triaged: Bug explains exactly what the dependency problem is
(wth does it depend on grub-pc anyway?)
** Changed in: selinux (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided => Medium
** Changed in: selinux (Ubuntu)
Incase anyone else runs into this and needs a work-around, here's how to build
a custom package without the dependency:
mkdir tmp ; cd tmp/
apt-get -t precise source selinux
sudo apt-get install debhelper cdbs
cd selinux-0.11/
Edit debian/control : Delete the Pre-Depends line and remove grub-pc fr
