[pkg-apparmor] Bug#830558: apparmor: Include a bug script snippet that other packages' bug script can use

That part was implemented in reportbug 7.1.8.
I think that was the most useful part of this proposal.

I'm not sure the marginal cost/benefit of implementing this would be
very interesting now that reportbug includes LSM info. So I'm
downgrading severity.

Feel free to but frankly, I think your time/energy would be more
useful elsewhere e.g. on our bugs with severity ≥ normal.
