So, the question of what should be done about this still stands - 
Joshua? From the point of view of libsemanage, a commit with a missing 
seusers file should fail, because the store should hold the 
authoritative copy of this file, and it's an important file, so it seems 
like lack of it should be considered fatal...there should at least be a 
default entry?

How will the store be initialized? Seems like this should possibly be 
done in the libsemanage post script? Any callers of the library should 
already have the store be in good state for use.
