Since libselinux 3.2, via commit 05bdc03130d7 ("libselinux: use kernel
status page by default") [1], selinux_status_updated(3) will issue log
messages on enforcing changes and policy loads. dpkg is only interested
in whether the policy changed to then reload the SELinux label database.
Ignore non-relevant log messages and forward messages of type error,
warning and avc (which should be treated as error if not audited
according to selinux_set_callback(3)).
Example (the missing newline is a libselinux bug [2]):
Unpacking valgrind-dbg (1:3.19.0-1) ...

uavc: op=setenforce lsm=selinux enforcing=0 res=1Preparing to unpack
