Hi Tyler,

[this started as https://bugs.debian.org/800132, but now redirecting
upstream; hence, full quoting this time.]

Good catch, thanks :)

We pulled this patch from the Ubuntu packaging.

The patch [1] header says:

 Description: Document D-Bus getcon method in aa_getcon man page
  .
  This patch should be submitted to upstream AppArmor after the AppArmor
  mediation patches are submitted to upstream D-Bus.

The blocker (AppArmor support in upstream D-Bus) is now gone, right?
Tyler, do you think this patch should now go upstream, or is there
anything that needs to be done first?

Cheers,
