I take it the answer to my question is, Yes. Thank you.

Now, I suppose the process is to create abcd.te in my source code. I
then compile the .te file as follows:

   checkmodule -M -m -o abcd.mod abcd.te
   semodule_package -o abcd.pp -m abcd.mod

I include abcd.pp in my RPM package and have its postinstall section
execute:

   semodule -i abcd.pp

Right?

I will also need to specify an abcd.fc. What do I do with the file? Is
it magically imported by checkmodule?
