It isn't just a case of using #if and it magically working. You'd need a
system to manage multiple labels on each object that can be addressed by
different systems. So instead of having an object mapped only to
"system_u:object_r:mydb_t:s15" you'd also have to have it mapped to,
eg., "^" for Smack.
