Having it remain non-space long-term is OK.  But I think that we need to have 
Lenny released with a version of ls that doesn't display "+" on every file.  
That means that either the code to display some character other than "+" in 
the case of files with a SE Linux context needs to be written reasonably soon 
(and a final decision has to be made on which character it will be) or we 
need to release lenny with the same functionality as etch in this regard.
