Please forgive me for drawing incorrect conclusions:the initial bug
report, its title, the fact it was reported against another package
than the one that ships aa-logprof, suggested to me something very
different than what you're saying now. Thanks for clarifying.

I'm reopening the bug report and fixing the metadata to make it
clearer what it is about.

Cheers,
