commit 2ae83164adde81c74ebdb88a8b56af7ce0bf2235

dpkg: Do not translate SE Linux context to human readable form
Cherry picked from commit 7db83375c952383540631244ace9cfefdfc908a7.
The SE Linux context in computer readable form get translated to human
readable form if the mcstransd daemon is running. But if the daemon
fails inbetween then dpkg might try to write wrong data to disk. To
avoid the flakines implied in relying on the state of that daemon,
just never translate the context.
As a side effect this should incur in a slight speed up.

Closes: #679641
