Currently it's not being relabeled on Debian, but that's a separate issue.

We have work in progress on dbus-broker in Debian.  Would it make sense to 
only support dbus-broker in SE Linux policy?  Being forced to use only 1 of 
the 2 dbus programs (and the newer and faster 1 of the 2) is a very small 
trade-off, smaller than some of the other trade-offs for running SE Linux.
