Bug#506917: pbuilder does not work correctly with selinux if selinux-utils is not installed

I have a typical KDE desktop environment with like 1600 packages 
installed. And none of these packages has selinux-utils as dependency. 
The problem seems to be that selinux can be enabled (which also means 
it's required in pbuilder chroots) even if none of the selinux packages 
is installed.
If checking for the presence of /usr/sbin/selinuxenabled becomes the 
default way to check for the presence of selinux, it should maybe be 
installed always by default? I think having selinux-utils not installed 
seems to be the norm at the moment.
