Please remove selinux package from the archive

[Laurent Bigonville]

Hello,

I was pretty sure I already opened a bug for this but I cannot find it anymore, anyway here we go.

I think that the "selinux" package should be removed from ubuntu archive, the package is not maintained in ubuntu anymore and it's not needed now that ubuntu has switched to systemd. And I'm wondering if it's not causing more issues than good with the initscript it contains.

As for metapackage, debian has a selinux-basics package that also contains some validation scripts (that are not all working ATM since the switch to systemd) that is already in the
ubuntu archive.

Please note that I'm still thinking about renaming "selinux-basics" to "selinux" in debian for the metapackage at some point.

FTR, the selinux package seems to cause issues with recent Ubuntu release (the one with systemd as PID 1), see https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/483246/selinux-demands-constant-relabeling
