  Thanks for the pointer John -- I think that is the fix we've been
looking for!

  Commit 1cf26c3d2c4c doesn't apply cleanly to the v6.1 tree due to the
other commits from the patchset of Oct 3, 2022 that modified a bunch of
the apparmor code. Because I couldn't quickly cherry-pick all the
changes without amassing a large diff, I made the small proof-of-
concept patch at the end of this message and applied it to the  6.1.38-
4 kernel from bookworm. Booting with the patched kernel allows services
to start up in containers without any issues. :)

  So, I think the next step should be to get that commit properly
backported to the v6.1 longterm tree and included in an upstream
release. Hopefully that would be able to happen in enough time so that
it is bundled with the kernel updates for bookworm's point release next
month. If not, we should be sure to get it into Debian's packaging so
at least there's a proper fix available.

  I'm happy to help test any proposed patch for this fix on my end.

Mathias
