It seems to me this means pgsql-9.1 shall be bundled with
libselinux-2.1.9, but not pgsql-9.3, so here is no matter.
When pgsql-9.3 is released, Fedora 17 will exceed end-of-life.
Debian already releases libselinux-2.1.12 on experimental package
even though its pgsql is 9.1. Is it too optimistic estimation?
