Hrm, those entries were added to POTFILES last September and haven't seemed to 
cause a problem. When I build I always build from the top of the repo and this 
didn't happen at all but indeed when I built from the policycoreutils directory 
it did.

I don't really know anything about POTFILES or generating it, the po patches 
were pretty much accepted blindly, perhaps a mistake in hindsight.
