Not sure what is at issue here. I usually use the Makefile that should
be included with the devel pakage to build policy. Last time i tried
checkmodule had some issues.

The errors you ran into seems like a bug related to debian.

I would encourage that you try sending e-mail to Russell Coker. You can
find his e-mail address on the bottom of this page:
