I ran into a similar problem with postgresql.te which contains a 
can_exec statement with dpkg_exec_t that does not have an ifdef around 
it.  So unless you include dpkg.te you get an error attempting to 
compile the policy.  Easiest thing to do from what I've found is to grep 
the everything in domains/program for the context that is giving the error.
