I receive the email in question and did what it instructed (send email to a 
certain address requesting that the change be made).  So far nothing has 
happened as a result.

It would probably be good for Luke to file a bug report against 
ftp.debian.org.

SE Linux is included in Fedora Core 2 (boot CD1 and type "linux selinux" at 
the boot prompt to install SE Linux).  Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 will have 
SE Linux included.


PS  Luke's email seems broken, I can't send mail to him direct.
