Code like rpm-ostree generates disk images directly. In order to ensure SELinux labeling is correct, it currently has a helper program that runs over the deployment root, then over the whole disk and to only set a label if none exist. In order to make it easier to write installers such as Anaconda without having them depend on rpm-ostree (or whatever other build-server side program), pull in the helper code here.
OSTree is a tool for managing bootable, immutable, versioned filesystem trees. While it takes over some of the roles of tradtional "package managers" like dpkg and rpm, it is not a package system; nor is it a tool for managing full disk images. Instead, it sits between those levels, offering a blend of the advantages (and disadvantages) of both.
