While I don't have anything against the autobuilder, the images built with
meta-selinux like "core-image-selinux" had a "labeling" phase which requires
it to boot - twice
Once for labeling and later for booting like any other normal image.

Do anyone care to share a way around this "difficulty" in automatically testing
selinux or am I wrong here ?
