I think I found the solution here:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/SELinux_Independent_Policy

    BuildRequires: selinux-policy
    %{?selinux_requires}

This way its expansion can be deferred at rebuild time, I suppose. But
don't we miss the other BuildRequires tags in this case?

I will give it a try.
