auditd and restorecond are also optional for selinux.  mcstransd should
be optional as well for selinux.  None of them existed originally for
selinux; they are all later add-ons.

In the absence of auditd, SELinux avc messages just go
to /var/log/messages instead.

In the absence of restorecond, you might find certain files will be left
mislabeled when re-created, although usually that gets covered
automatically by policy.  But you can always restorecon them by hand as
needed.

In the absence of mcstransd, the MCS/MLS label component (:s0) will be
visible and you won't have mapping support for translating categories to
more meaningful names.  But you don't really need it if not using
categories for anything.
