Yes, it's available in Ubuntu, but currently the targeted policy only
works well on "permissive" mode. I think enforcing policy will work if
there's a custom policy, specifically for Ubuntu.

you would have to install the specific policy, since
selinux-policy-default is a metapackage of selinux-basics and
selinux-policy-targeted.

Then relabel the system (i.e $ relabel /, or touch /.autorelabel and reboot)

BTW, some say permissive mode does not do something on the system. I
tried installing beagle with permissive mode, and it failed, since
chage is disallowed to change user priorities.

Another is try running X on a chroot environment, (LiveCD with $ cd
dev && MAKEDEV generic), and the themes doesn't apply.

I think permissive mode does have effects.
