Yes, it was added so that we could ensure the binaries created are the
same. sediff can verify much of the policy is the same but it still
doesn't analyze every piece of policy (eg, constraints, ocontexts, MLS)
so even though sediff showed no difference we wanted to ensure the
policies were indeed identical. I had every intention to drop this after
everyone was satisfied that it was creating policies correctly :)
