There is a reason not to accept that patch. It applies to an
older version of coreutils, and is set up to use old SELinux

Then please, let those of us who care about integrating
SELinux into current Debian infrastructure get a move on. There is no
reason to be quite so confrontational, the maintainers (Micheal

things shall get integrated when we work through the issue around
them (like, would the patches work on non linux arches?)
