I generally favor giving the human operators a fighting chance but I'm
afraid that someone will try to find a mapping between these names and
the names of the files in /etc/apparmor.d/. Either we should make that
mapping 100% explicit and use the same names or we should be very
upfront that the name attached to the sid is for _human_ inspection
and use and not to be used for automated policy tools. (Though these
sorts of hints are always somehow forgotten.)
