Hello Alan,

your output comes from "--strict" where a bit more content is checked
from rpm packages. Are e.g. vendor fields setup correctly. Tag 1147 has been
information on what SELinux filecontexts should be given to included files.
We don't include that anymore within binary rpm packages, but keep that
in the selinux-policy-* packages.

If you want to check your rpm packages about included content and good
packaging rules, "rpmlint" has way more checks for this and is a very
nice tool (http://people.redhat.com/laroche/ also contains output data
from rpmlint, too).

greetings,

Florian La Roche
