Can you give a link to the discussion?

Not very nice, for servers or things like that.

Yes, it's a problem to be solved. I've already serveral ideas, but most of
them consume to much resources and need a transaction API in the filesystem
like in databases. The part of selinux could be solved easily. I haven't look
deep into dpkg. But the part which creates the file has to apply the rules
via open_secure. This could be solved by a preloaded library, overriding
open.
