That's my fault. I added that to the fedora spec in the F11 time frame. On a
fresh rawhide install, libvirt wouldn't start because libselinux wasn't pulled
in. I later realized that my install was just hosed in some manner, but I had
already pushed the spec file change.

So that dependency can probably be dropped.
