Hi Thomas, I've been working on SELinux for awhile now in Ubuntu,
including trying to package the reference policy & various other
userland problems. I've been to the last couple of Ubuntu conferences &
written up the specification for selinux implementation, and I've also
been in touch with Erich. We agreed that it'd be better to do most of
the policy work in Debian, but it's great to finally hear of others
willing to help out in Ubuntu. The main reason it's been so delayed is
lack of willing volunteers. 
The sysvinit patch I hope to have included in the next day or two, I've
been working on it. 
It would be nice to coordinate work so that work isn't duplicated, as
has already started to happen with at least 2 people (myself included)
doing policy packaging.

PS: sorry if 2 mails come through, I initially tried to reply through
gmane.
