[pkg-apparmor] Bug#768357: Dovecot: Installing apparmor completely breaks dovecot as profiles do not match dovecot processes.

Package: apparmor-profiles
Version: 2.9.0-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

> apt-get install dovecot 
Conifgure dovecot everything works
> apt-get install apparmor

add to grub, update grub and reboot. Dovecot fails to run. Equally having apparmor running and then install dovecot results in the same problem.

Dovecot runs a number of processes, only some of which are covered by profiles. Namely the main process also tries to fork/exec anvil and log processes. These are trapped by apparmor and the the entire dovecot install now becomes completely unsuable.

Apparmor needs to be updated with profiles to dovecot that match that to be shipped in Jessie.
