I think it's incumbent upon any package or process to work through the
issues with selinux rather than leave it completely on the users to work
it out if it is to be considered a useful package.

Obviously the OP issue was trying to run user home directories not
in /home which seems to present more issues than it's worth. It's like
trying to row against the current.
