OK, plain weird.
Things you can try:
(1) After the dpkg-statoverride --list command in the postinst, try
doing a "cat /var/lib/dpkg/statoverride". And on second thoughts,
you could add this command to the preinst as well to see what is
going on.
(2) Without doing a dpkg, set up the SE Linux permissions exactly as
se_dpkg does, then do a dpkg-statoverride --list to see what
happens.
Something clearly is amiss somewhere.
