The 'wheezy' kernel has some backward compatibility code to support
old AppArmor userland.  This code will never be part of the upstream
kernel and we don't want to keep supporting it.  AppArmor userland
must be updated to version 2.8 (I think), but this isn't yet in
Debian.

(AppArmor maintainers: we can add a versioned 'Breaks' to the kernel
if this would be helpful.)
