        Well, this does seem strange. According to  dpkg, lisepol1 was
 installed, so the postinst did complete without a hitch. The postinst
 for libsepol1  has this code in the postinst:

,----
|     # Update ld.so cache
|     ldconfig
| 
|     if [ -x /sbin/init ] && [ -x /bin/readlink ]; then
|         if [ "$(readlink /proc/1/exe 2>/dev/null)" = "/sbin/init" ]; then
|              (init u ; sleep 1)
|         fi
|     fi
`----

        That seems about right to me.  I am CC'ing the sysvinint
 maintainers, perhaps they have some insight to offer?
