Now I checked the repository of Ubuntu, however, I can find
several matters to build/run SE-PostgreSQL.
- The default security policy is quite old.  Is does not contain SE-PostgreSQL support which is merged  at the
refpolicy-20080702.
- The libselinux is a bit old. It does not contains several  symbols required by SE-PostgreSQL, so it is not possible
tocompile.
 

If you set up a VM from scratch, Fedora enables to install
via remote repository using minimum bootable image.
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/10/Fedora/i386/iso/

I don't think it is not a essential for you to resolve troubles
related to SELinux on Ubuntu.

Thanks,
