Hmm... Now, I provide two types of policy packages (targeted and mls).
Do you have any guideline to deploy these files?
For example, the mod_selinux installs its policy modules at:
/usr/share/selinux/targeted/mod_selinux.pp
and
/usr/share/selinux/mls/mod_selinux.pp
If we put them on a single directory, it conflicts due to the name.
I think /usr/share/selinux/packages is a hangover from when packaging
modules in RPMs was first being considered. The draft guidelines (which
are old but still relevant) suggest that mod_selinux is doing the right
thing.
