The pattern "(.*)?" means "match anything including the nothing, or
nothing": the question mark is redundant. This is likely to be a
mispelling for "(/.*)?", which means "match a slash and anthing, or
nothing", or for ".*", or for other patterns.

In a pattern, a dot can match any character, including slash. It makes
sense when it is combined with ?, + or *, but makes little sense when
left alone.
Most of the time, the label was for file containing dots, where the dot
was not escaped. A few times, the dot was really intended to match any
character. In such case, [^/] better suits the intent.

Some file_contexts regular expressions in refpolicy-strict are causing
genhomedircon to die; refpolicy is failing to build for me entirely.
The regular expressions seem redundant to me, perhaps I am missing
something, but the following patch fixes the problems for me. Please
review and apply
