I have to have your script to do what I'm doing. It's
not an issue of 'just instaling' selinux. I can do that.
It's the hands-off build I've been fiddling with for
some time. 

I've got a workaround for now, I just replace klogd.te after
the install 'Automatic' removes it. If you'd let me know when
the merge with your script occurs, I'd appreciate that greatly
as then I can back out the hacks I'm using and perhaps switch
entirely to Russ's repository.

Just so you know, this is what I have to do at present
to get a workable set for a hands-off build:

sources.list
--------------------
deb http://www.coker.com.au/newselinux/ ./
deb http://web.verbum.org/debian/ ./experimental/
deb http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ sid main non-free contrib
deb http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian-non-US sid/non-US main contrib non-free

preferences
--------------------
Package: *
Pin: release l=etbe
Pin-Priority: 1200

Package: *
Pin: release o=walters
Pin-Priority: 1100
 
If you or Russ think the problems are sorted, I'd be
happy to have a go at building entirely off his repository.
Note that I've not gotten around to switching over from
initrd to svinit boot procedures though. I'm doing this
as a background task as I'm quite busy with a job
right now. I just start up a test run of my autobuild
and go do real work for the next hour or two :-)
