Hi Helmut,

First: wow, great investigative work!

I would be happy to review a patch series. Indeed, this can totally
happen without being blocked by the freeze.

Here's what I'd like to review:

 - atomic patches (ideally as a MR on Salsa, but if that's too
   inconvenient for you, I can live with the email workflow; it's just
   less motivating, so you should expect longer delays): all changes
   bundled in one single diff is too painful for me to review and to
   selectively apply

 - based on the current 3.x (debian/experimental) codebase: both the
   upstream code and the packaging have changed quite a bit since
   2.13.x and I'd rather not have to forward-port these changes

Fair enough?

Additionally, I'm considering dropping the Perl extension in the 3.x
packaging: it's not used by anything in Debian anymore and I seriously
doubt there's any relevant, non-obsolete, 3rd-party code that uses it.
I understand this move would simplify your work a fair bit, and for me
it's another reason in favor of dropping libapparmor-perl. So you
could ignore the Perl bits for now :)

Cheers!
