+- Fix macros.selinux-policy (bsc#1229132)
+  - %selinux_modules_install and %selinux_modules_uninstall will
+    now only execute load_policy if $TRANSACTIONAL_UPDATE is not set
+    (aka only if they are not in a transactional system)
+  - $TRANSACTIONAL_UPDATE is set here:
+    https://github.com/openSUSE/transactional-update/blob/bd524d3ddfcd9aeebb7b90d3e0e8eed09b796a86/lib/Transaction.cpp#L428

+- Disable build of the MLS policy. We currently don't know if it works
+  and don't want to encourage users to apply it
