The selinux.config script will ask you to update grub if your
DEBIAN_PRIORITY is set to medium or lower. If you choose not to update
grub (for instance you don't have grub), then it will also post a
message indicating that you probably need to update your boot loader
flags.

Ah ok, mine was set to high. However, I seem to not be able to rerun the config:

cafuego@vm-03:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow selinux
dpkg-trigger: dpkg-trigger must be called from a maintainer script (or with a --by-package option)

Odd... dpkg-reconfigure should be setting up the environment variable
DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE. Try:

$ sudo DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE=selinux dpkg-reconfigure -plow selinux

See LP: #198421 for more on this.
