 last time i spoke to him [name forgotten] the maintainer
 of coreutils would not accept the coreutils patches -
 already completed and demonstrated as working and sitting on
 http://selinux.lemuria.org/newselinux - because libselinux1
 is not a "Required" package, and could not be made a "Required"
 package because of the sarge freeze.

 either way i don't particularly care.  well - the bit i care about is
 that libselinux1 should have been made "Required" some time well over a
 year ago.
