Myself and other shadow package maintainers were wondering whether we
have to compile shadow utilities (login, su, passwd...) with SELinux
support.

One of my co-maintainers said me we shouldn't because libselinux1 is
not in the base system...which seems untrue..:-) (or I misunderstood
him which is also likely)

So, I guess we could, indeed...anyway I bet you'll ask us to do so at
some moment, won't you?
