[pkg-apparmor] Bug#920682: Ships file in /var/cache

Source: apparmor
Severity: normal

apparmor ships /var/cache/apparmor/CACHEDIR.TAG directly in the binary
package. Packages must not ship files or directories in /var/cache; the
system administrator is free to delete such files or directories at any
time.

In this case, it's the responsibility of the sysadmin to not back up
/var/cache; it's not apparmor's responsibility to ship a CACHEDIR.TAG
file in its particular subdirectory. (There ought to be one in
/var/cache directly, but that's not apparmor's problem to solve.)
