    The aim of my Debian work is not to produce policy.  I just ended up writing 
    lots of policy because it needed to be done and no-one else was doing it.
    
    The aim is to have a set of Debian packages for all SE Linux functionality, so 
    that you can get full SE functionality by just installing Debian packages 
    with a minimum of effort.  Also I've spent a lot of time working on upgrades 
    of live systems.  Upgrading a SE Debian system is a lot easier than upgrading 
    most OSs that don't have any special security (I have some SE machines that I 
    upgrade every day).

    What is the ETA on getting LSM module stacking to fully work?  Last time I 
    checked most OpenWall functionality did not operate when stacked with SE 
    Linux.
