You can make the file contexts for /var/home match those for /home very
easily on F-11 onwards:

# semanage fcontext -a -e /home /var/home

See http://danwalsh.livejournal.com/2009/04/09/ for Dan's blog on file
context equivalency.

On a slightly related issue, I note that current selinux-policy
packages do a restorecon on the contents of /var/lib, which on my mock
buildsystem is *huge* (all buildroots live under /var/lib/mock) and
takes a very long time indeed. I wonder what the problem is that this
behaviour is trying to solve?
