Please update the documentation about selinux and packaging[1] first, 
currently, there is not much help to allow e.g. execmod for a file in a 
package. Without proper documentation, your demand seems not to be very wise 
to me.
Also does rpm not support a packager very much to use selinux afaik. When one 
needs two extra files and more than 15 lines of scriptlets for only making 
some files "textrel_shlib_t", it is not much helpful. Imho something like

%textrel_shlib_t /path/to/libpackage.so

in %files should be enough, because it contains all the information that is 
needed (the lib should have textrel_shlib_t) and everything else can be 
automatically.
