Putting the use of semanage on the parent page is fine, but the PolicyModules
page should probably include an example of its usage.

However, using semanage in %post and %preun might not be the best place, as the
port contexts won't be set if the admin starts with selinux turned off and later
turns it on:

(turn off selinux and reboot)
# yum install cyphesis cyphesis-selinux

(turn on selinux and reboot)
# service cyphesis start
(look in /var/log/messages:
Aug  5 16:09:45 localhost kernel: audit(1154819384.688:23): avc:  denied  {
name_bind } for  pid=2420 comm="cyphesis" src=6767
scontext=user_u:system_r:cyphesis_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:port_t:s0
tclass=tcp_socket

# semanage port -l | grep cyphesis
(no match)

Maybe semanage should be called to add/remove the port contexts in the init
script instead?  Or should semanage be able to set such contexts even if selinux
is disabled?
