Yes, looks like it

I wonder whether it would be possible (and feasible) to not transition on
privsep_preauth at all *unless* a privsep preauth type is specified in
openssh_context.

Currently it falls back to a hardcoded type to transition to if
openssh_contexts does not exist.

Then again, i would not want to risk breaking or regressing some of the nice
functionality openssh in fedora has for selinux. It's state is currently
very good even compared to RHEL.
