[debian-mysql] Bug#801746: mysql-server-5.6: Please run restorecon on directories you create (at boot and postinst) so it works with SE Linux

Hi Russell,

Thank you for the patch.

These sounds like quite a maintenance burden to me. It seems almost
certain to me that this will regress if packaging changes, as it's
unlikely that maintainers will remember to keep all the restorecon calls
up to date.

Please note that I am not familiar with SE Linux nor the Debian
packaging implications of it.

Is there documentation somewhere that explains why this is the right way
to approach this? Is there any consensus across Debian that you can
refer to that says that this is the right thing to do?

Thanks,

Robie
