AFAICT the argument is that selinux should not be hard linked at all. 
Having openssh require selinux libs is unwanted overhead for the 
installer.

A solution should be found so that selinux will only be used if it is 
available _at runtime_, as was already done for some other libs that also 
produce udebs.

See for comparison:
http://bugs.debian.org/318115
http://bugs.debian.org/375413

Alternatively the udebs could be compiled separately without selinux 
support.
