Hello Hadmut, thanks for the feedback.

This is a tricky situation -- chromium-browser's new sandboxing code
requests a large number of system capabilities inside a user namespace.
The current AppArmor profile language and enforcement engine has no way
to describe "these capabilities are only valid inside a user namespace".
It's not clear how we should handle this. We could grant the
capabilities and let things work, but have zero security if accidentally
run by the admin, or we could deny the capabilities and break the
sandboxing.

Because it's difficult to have a good profile in the face of this, we
haven't shipped the profile in a package that would have more users.

Thanks
