Current practice is just to submit patches to the single monolithic
policy to add your .te and .fc files there rather than trying to package
them with your software package. However, FC5 (development) has
incorporated the new support for binary policy modules, which allows
individual .te and .fc files to be precompiled and packaged together and
shipped separate from the base policy package. So it depends on what
you are targeting, e.g. if you are looking ahead to FC5 or just trying
to get things working in FC4.
