This is due to the RC bug #347744. The patch there plus my correction
is just a workaround. I've created today patches for libsepol and
libselinux to introduce .pc files. If they get accepted and applied
before our planned upload, then I'll fix dpkg properly with a
versioned Build-Depends, otherwise I'll apply the patches to dpkg as
a temporary measure.

Christian if you need to build a test package just install libsepol1-dev.
