The patch in the BTS at the moment adds a /etc/dpkg/postinst.d directory whose contents get run every time a package is installed. You drop an SELinux script in there to update contexcts. My personal favourite is to actually allow the part of dpkg that installs files to be replaced by one that installs files and applies contexts. > How often do you sync with upstream? > Upstream being?
