until 2) happens, debian/selinux is vulnerable to the "/dev
being moved to /.dev and getting relabelled inappropriately or
accidentally having selinux filecontexts removed by fsck and
there being nothing to put them back" problem because no-one
wants to or will acknowledge whether it's appropriate to add
/.dev/* to the file contexts source alongside /dev and /udev
