Yesterday I searched a bit for further information and found these
mails/threads:

Possible issues with dpkg SELinux support
https://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2012/11/msg00004.html

[PATCH RFC] Package script(let)s SELinux execution context
https://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2012/11/msg00013.html

[PATCH] libselinux: Refactor rpm_execcon() into a new setexecfilecon()
https://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2012/11/msg00014.html

Guillem, have these patches been applied? Are you aware of any open
issues regarding dpkg and SELinux?

Background is https://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/SELinux

Cheers,
Andreas
