I was making heavily customized policy for my device. For that I use
refpolicy as starting point. Also I've used genfscon for security
contexts labeling (with a patch to kernel to support security context
for individual files).

Since my filesystems do not use xattr, I did not use "regular"
security contexts labeling, so file_contexts file was empty.
