-<longdescription>SELinux core policy utilities and userland</longdescription>
+<longdescription>
+Policycoreutils contains the policy core utilities that are required
+for basic operation of a SELinux system. These utilities include
+load_policy to load policies, setfiles to label filesystems, newrole
+to switch roles, and run_init to run /etc/init.d scripts in the proper
+context.
+
+Gentoo-specific tools include rlpkg for relabeling packages by name,
+avc_toggle to toggle between enforcing and permissive modes, and
+avc_enforcing to query the current mode of the system, enforcing or
+permissive.
