Good point. I didn't realize this package was actually confined in "mls" 
an "minimum" as well.

I'll change the paths and dependencies accordingly.

The new policy was only tested in "targeted" mode so far and we'll need 
to make sure it works properly in "mls" an "minimum".

Also, we only tested it using libvirt-tck (which now has custom policy 
as well) and by manually running virtual machines with the split daemon 
configuration. So we probably didn't cover all the functionality and 
would appreciate any additional testing output (i.e. any AVCs that may 
appear during testing).

Would rewriting the build script to python, as Daniel suggested, help? 
This is my first encounter with meson.
