Bug Description
Since Ubuntu uses AppArmor by default, the nautilus properties panel shouldn't show the SELinux context information. This is technical information that is useless to the user on a default Ubuntu installation.
We could simply remove selinux from the debian/control file, which would remove all SELinux integration in nautilus, or we could figure out at nautilus runtime if selinux or apparmor is actually loaded in the kernel. We could also simply not display the field if the value is "Unknown".

* Disable selinux support. On Ubuntu, we ship AppArmor by default, and
selinux support adds a useless and technical entry to the properties
panel. (LP: #886983)
- debian/control.in: remove libselinux1-dev build-depend.
