Everything goes well until I get to the selinux-policy-default package.
The version I get is 1:1.12-3 (from Sid). The installation ends with the
following:

make: *** /etc/selinux: No such file or directory.  Stop.
run-parts: /etc/dpkg/postinst.d/selinux exited with return code 2
"/bin/run-parts --arg=selinux-policy-default /etc/dpkg/postinst.d" failed: 256
dpkg: error processing selinux-policy-default (--configure):
 1Error running trigger postinst: No such file or directory
Errors were encountered while processing:
 selinux-policy-default
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned error code (1)


Indeed, there is no directory called /etc/selinux. When should it have
been created? (By what package?)

I've tried to keep track of all the steps I've taken, and all packages
that have been installed as a result of them, when trying to convert a
Sid system to SELinux. Let me know if you need any more info regarding
versions of packages and so on.
