Linux FHS conformance (the 'world' I mostly live in), and 
recent Red Hat packaging practice would support the first; the 
second (/use/local) -- not so much

Conspicuiously, the freeswitch packaging has not landed in 
Fedora or EPEL, which are sort of gateways for RH being 
interested in adding SELinux rulesets

Some years ago at a SELinux presentation, I proposed at Ottawa 
Linux Symposium, and proposals have een floated from time to 
time to 'bundle' the SELinux rules for a given package within 
either the .spec file, or as some sort of 'mergable' location 
per package.  Red Hat has chosen to go a different way, where 
there is a responsive maintainer (Dan Walsh) who seems to have 
more eyes than a peacock tail, as to SELinux issues on mailing 
lists

Carrying local libraries rather than using system ones as much 
as possible, is another stumbling block to consider and 
address

I've marked this for some more review after I get the FS SRPMS 
rebuilding locally
