Start quote -> "
You mean Debian maintenance team, right? If you pulled in an Ubuntu
apparmor package, that's a different story (and we should close this
bug). If you're using Debian's apparmor-profiles package, then the bug
and fix should go there. Although, if you're pulling in an Ubuntu
package to get some kind of apparmor protection that Debian doesn't
have, you also might want to open a wishlist bug on the Debian package
asking for the feature so you don't have to mix-and-match packages
across different distributions."

   ///

I am, honestly, as confused as you. I've had profiles from the
apparmor-profiles and apparmor-profiles-extra packages for a long time.

This time around, though, I did not have either packages installed all the
while having active apparmor.d profiles.

Installing fresh sid profiles with both previously stated packages (version
3.0.8-3 and 1.35 respectively), I have not seen that specific mistake made.

It may have come from a loose AppArmor profile but, just to be sure, no
such open "/** r," found in latest sid-provided
apparmor-profiles/apparmor-profiles-extra Chromium AppArmor profile.

Cheers
