--- Begin Message ---Package: debian-policy Severity: wishlist Hi! Suggested policy addition: Do not depend on or recommend the apparmor package Packages must neither depend on nor recommend apparmor, because it would not only enable AppArmor for this package, but for any packages shipping an AppArmor profile, which might have unwanted effects. Enabling AppArmor should require at least one conscious decision by the user. If you are shipping an AppArmor profile, add apparmor to Suggests. apparmor-{utils,profiles,profiles-extra} and other packages where this is useful are exceptions. Reason: Before we can automatically enable AppArmor when the userspace tools are installed, AppArmor maintainer intrigeri said, we must make sure, that no packages depend on AppArmor, so AppArmor does not get installed even though the user does not wish this. [1] Other: Bastien ROUCARIES would implement this into lintian and asked me to report this against policiy. [2] Feel free to change wording / etc. I don't have a strong opinion there. Whatever you feel appropriate. Cheers, Patrick [1] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=702030 [2] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=754730

--- Begin Message ---Hi, now that AppArmor is enabled by default in our Linux kernel, which "Recommends: apparmor", we need these changes neither in the Policy, nor in Lintian, nor in src:apparmor itself. Cheers, -- intrigeri
