[New pre-depends] SElinux support for findutils.



Hello,

upstream has included SEliux support in GNU findutils 4.5.7, i.e.:

       -context pattern
              (SELinux only) Security context of the file  matches  glob  pat-
              tern.

       -printf format
              %Z     (SELinux only) file's security context.

This requires linkage against libselinux1. There is no problem with
priorities, both packages are Priority: required.

Since findutils is essential, the respective dependency ends up in
Pre-Depends. Which is why I am starting discussion on d-d. Personally
I do not care a lot. I am not using SElinux but the feature has been
explicitely requested by a user in #572809.

PS: I will upload 4.5.7 to experimental with the SElinux
support soonish. This should not be read as me ignoring the outcome of
this discussion, I am just giving it a test in experimental.
