[pkg-apparmor] apparmor.service - get upstream and Debian (mostly?) in sync?

[intrigeri]

Hi,

Yep, for historical context, IIRC both Debian and OpenSUSE initially
had their own downstream systemd unit, and then you've upstreamed your
(OpenSUSE) version, which was a good first step. Since then, nobody
ensured that upstreamed version was suitable for Debian as well, so
here we are still shipping our own. In 2018 I did lots of work to make
the Debian version closer to upstream's but I did not go as far as
fully converging.

I won't have time to work on this any time soon myself, but here's
a suggestion to anyone who will:

IMO this would be a great next step indeed, because:

 - Minimizing the diff will be useful no matter which strategy is
   picked later on.

 - While minimizing the diff, one will discover what the remaining bits
   of the diff are useful for. And ideally, document that (some of the
   info is already in the Debian Vcs-Git log, but still).

 - Once we can see what kind of stuff is left in the remaining diff,
   we'll be better informed to decide how to proceed next.

Cheers,
