Bug#1120439: RFS: libselinux/3.9-3 [RC] -- Python3 bindings to SELinux shared libraries

[Tobias Frost <tobi@debian.org>]

Hi Christian,

as the rename will require a trip through NEW I strongly recommend to 
seperate that from the RC-bug fix, as NEW processing may take its time.

I'd suggest to fix the RC bug in unstable first, and maybe do the
rename in through an upload to experimental.

If you prepare two RFS (one for unstable 3.9-3 and one for 
experimental 3.9-4~exp1) I'll take a look.

Cheers
