We have received a bug report about the SELinux paragraph of the
release-notes.

Though the priority of selinux-basics is optional, the package
selinux-policy-refpolicy-targeted is Priority: standard

But indeed, it is misleading since selinux-basics is optional and
documented as the package to be installed :

" For existing systems you can install SELinux using:
# aptitude install selinux-basics "

If you think it must be made clearer, you can provide a patch against :
