The dependency of poker-web on poker-selinux is debatable. Many people, for
reasons best known to themselves, run web servers with SELinux disabled or in
permissive mode. For these people, it's not necessary to have poker-selinux in
order for poker-web to work.

So the alternatives are either:
1. Include the depenency (the status quo) and possibly pull in lots of
additional packages (potentially the whole SELinux ecosystem on a system not
currently using SELinux).
2. Omit the dependency and possibly confuse users that don't know about the
-selinux subpackage. I know that this can happen despite the inclusion of a
README.SELinux file in a main package that explains about installing the
-selinux subpackage, even from experienced people that really should know better
(I maintain the mod_fcgid package in Extras, which has a -selinux subpackage
that is not a hard dependency).

A decision for the maintainer I think; just be aware of the pros and cons each way.
