Obviously, I'd prefer the default to be selinux=1, but as a temporary
measure to getting SELinux compiled into the Debian kernel at all, I
think it is reasonable to make the boot-time default selinux=0 in their
kernel, as SuSE did with their kernel.  You can change the default via a
config option, no patch required anymore.
