SELinux policy problems should be fixed these days as long as 
a) you're running 2.6.26+ as the host kernel so that you can support
deferred unknown xattrs
and
b) there were some userspace fixes to "what's being installed" so that
things wouldn't get confused.  I think the only downside of not having
this, though, was a longer relabel at the end
