Thanks, I'll be looking at this as time allows. I think the MTD web site
mentioned somewhere that SELinux is not supported or something. In any
case, once we support SELinux, we need to tell on the web site that we
support it.

Which reminds me that I need to update the web-site and tell there that
I do not support the backport trees any longer...
