the openbsd hier page is at
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=hier&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html (not that it matters much, this *is* linux and not BSD)

it would seem to come down to "is selinux the base system or an add on?" the distribution model of selinux would indicate that it's an add on, as its not a full fledged distribution.

#include "disclaimer.h"

if debian wants it someplace else, have locally available patches. please don't attempt to apply such standards to everyone else. thank you. it is, after all, why you're a different distro.

$ cat disclaimer.h

#ifndef FLAMESUIT
#define FLAMESUIT 1
#endif

i am in no way connected to the SELinux team. i just use it and have a longstanding interest in both filesystem hierarchies, the UNIX model (and Linux deviances from it), and trusted OSes. i am speaking only for myself.
