Yes, the seusers from /etc/selinux/strict/seusers have to get in the 
sandbox somehow...
I'm not entirely sure how, but I think Tresys has indicated that should 
occur through the APIs, rather than by copying it in.

This is only necessary for migration...

The authoritative seusers file should be in the sandbox. Personally I 
think all authoritative files should be in the sandbox, and not get 
copied from place to place...  but that's not how things work currently. 
By the way, direct modifications of the /etc/selinux/seusers file will 
be overwritten by libsemanage (but I think the goal is that there should 
be no direct modifications..)
