If the Debian kernel team was willing to carry some kind of AppArmor
kernel/userspace interface patch, I'm now unsure if the old or new
ones would be better suited. (I assume AppArmor 2.8 is released long
enough before the Wheezy freeze, so that we can ship it in there, and
are given this choice.)
On the one hand, the old compat' patches are confidence inspiring, as
they are small and have been shipped by Ubuntu for a while.
On the other hand, it seems the new patches are being upstreamed,
which makes them more appealing somehow than the older ones.
John, I think it would help if you could please point us more
precisely to the commits of the new interface that have been
upstreamed already, and to the ones that have not been, so that we can
get a rough idea of where things are at.
Kees, others, what do you think?
