[DSE-Dev] Splitting/reworking policycoreutils packages

Hello,

I'm currently looking at splitting the policycoreutils packages in 
several sub-packages (following what fedora is doing). The advantage 
would be that the main package will not depends against python anymore. 
And by default it would be possible for people to not have long running 
daemon (mcstrans,...)

The split would be something like:

  - policycoretuils: Main C executables
  - policycoreutils-python-utils: semanage, audit2*, chcat
  - policycoreutils-dev: sepolicy, semodule_*
  - policycore-gui: system-config-selinux, selinux-polgengui (we'll have 
to check if everything is working on debian)
  - mcstrans
  - restorecond
  - ...

What are people thinking about this?

Cheers,

Laurent Bigonville
