The kernel patch package has been in unstable for quite some time. I haven't
bothered to check on its progress into woody, but it's likely to be there by
now. NB it's an LSM patch as LSM now includes the SE Linux patch.
Creating SE Linux versions of these packages is very painful, which is why I
haven't finished it yet.

See http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ as previously announced both here and on
the SE Linux mailing list, and also referenced in my talk at linux.conf.au
recently.
But I suggest that you don't even try it at the moment unless you have some
significant amounts of time to work on it. At the moment I can practically
guarantee that installing it will break something...
