Sorry for the late reply, holidays and whatnot happened inbetween.

To be completely honest, the main reason I would go with
debhelper-extras would be to provide a package that can host scripts not
(yet) suitable for debhelper, which various downstream distros can
submit new commands to, even when the scripts are not yet useful for
Debian.

This would only work, though, if and when downstreams cooperate, but
that is something far beyond my reach.

In the short run, stuffing dh_apparmor into the apparmor package might
be the better choice. In the long run, I don't know. I'd rather not be
the one to decide.. O:)
