Matthew's patch, which adds per policy template format support, adds a
"template" field to entry.  In case anyone wants to backport this
patch, it might be simpler to make the change as a separate patch.

If LSM labels can come and go, then perhaps instead of saying
"invalid" say "undefined" or "missing".

No need for separate line.
