Dear list,

on my debian/stable there is a folder named ".autorelabel" in /, which is a 
symlink to /usr/sbin.

As far as I read, this is related to SElinux, but I could not find out, what it 
is used for. 

As far as I understood, this is some relabeling after a reboot.

Question: 
Is it recommended to delete this link?
After rebot it is still there.  Is this correct?
Does it make the system unsecure, when this link still exists after reboot?
When is this link created (normal behaviour, by accident, by failute?)?

Thanks for any answer and explanation. Can be short!

Best

Hans
