I backported the fixes to the 3.1 branch, see
    https://gitlab.com/apparmor/apparmor/-/merge_requests/1130
AppArmor 3.1.7 (no release date planned yet) will include these fixes.

Unfortunately backporting to the 3.0 branch results in lots of conflicts 
in a dozen of files, and I slightly ;-) doubt that supporting the latest 
Python in an older branch is worth the effort.

Therefore I'd recommend that the Debian package gets upgraded to 3.1.x.
