I studied some of your initial work for Debian and I am just going to read the above and update accordingly. The earlier work was helpful to understand all the things put together ... integration.

I am arranging a team who will maintain documentation and code for Debian derivatives for ARMel. That should help the rest of us :)
The userspace support gives me problem because of the dependencies but it should be getting fine in a few days. If the userspace had been autoconficated then things would have been easy. Sometime ago someone at some place identified autotools support for this purpose. I was looking for it to try it. Has anyone tried it? The principal who submitted it was not very friendly and at that time I was busy with learning policy models and how they are being converged with SELinux infra.

Debian/Lenny should work well if you follow my instructions:

platform (ARM). But when SE Linux migrated to XATTRs that was broken because
JFFS2 didn't have XATTR support. Recently XATTR support has been written, so
it should be possible to get it going.
