        I am not sure why you think the bsd list should have been
 copied. I did not copy the hurd list either. The fact that the SELinux
 packages are linux specific is no surprise, and recordi g that in P-a-s
 just corrects an oversight on my part.

        I did not think this is a matter of porting  -- indeed, porting
 SELinux is probably onerous enough to be impractical.  The solution for
 squeeze is not to build these packages for !Linux, and the earlier we
 get started removing them and rolling out new versions of packages that
 link to the libraries the better.  It is not as if the old packages are
 gone, so there is no forced timeline.

        From this I infer you are annoyed. I acknowledge that, though i
 fail to see why exactlty.

        Yup, thoygh the typo was also a duplicate,  and caught by the
 buildd folks. Thanks for the heads up.
