On the mailing list of checkinstall, I was taught of two solutions,
which I am posting for the sake of helping other people experiencing
the same problem:

1. add the options below to the command checkinstall

checkinstall --fstrans=no --exclude=/selinux

2. add the line

EXCLUDE="/selinux"

to /usr/local/lib/checkinstall/checkinstallrc
