We have the original unpatched sources in CVS, so I suppose we could provide unpatched source tar balls for each of the modified daemons and utilities. But I expect that you'll need to port the SELinux daemon and utility patches to the corresponding source package provided with Debian, unless they happen to use the same base sources as RedHat and do not deviate significantly in terms of distribution-specific patches.

Also, unless you want to defer it to your end users, it would be good for you to customize setfiles/file_contexts and the example policy configuration for a typical Debian system.
