Hi John & others,

Indeed, good catch!

FTR, here's the profile shipped in the clamav-freshclam package:
https://salsa.debian.org/clamav-team/clamav/-/blob/unstable/debian/usr.bin.freshclam
It has been updated a few times in the last few years.

And here's the upstream one from the AppArmor project:
https://gitlab.com/apparmor/apparmor/-/blob/master/profiles/apparmor/profiles/extras/usr.bin.freshclam
It has been updated once in the last 10 years.

I would love to see cross-distro collaboration on this profile, but
our current infrastructure & processes are not ready for that yet,
and I lack time/energy to push this forward myself.
So for the time being:

> Please remove this one.

This makes sense to me:
/usr/share/apparmor/extra-profiles/usr.bin.freshclam
gives no benefit to Debian users and instead it can cause confusion.

The next upload won't include
/usr/share/apparmor/extra-profiles/usr.bin.freshclam

Cheers!
