I have just updated my patch for unstable to the latest "coreutils" based 
replacement for fileutils and shellutils.  You may want to base your work on 
that and maintain one package instead of two.

My coreutils stuff is in http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/coreutils/

Yes, you could have just removed the "-e" in that script though...

Probably should make the script check for a running SE kernel and only try to 
do anything if it's running.

Good work.  I'll remove my woody repository in the near future in favour of 
your work.
