[pkg-apparmor] Apparmor update in Linux Mint 21.3 delayed by 6 months from Ubuntu date

[Brad Morrison]

Hi, 

I am running Linux Mint 21.3 with the Cinnamon desktop environment -
https://www.linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=311 

An update to Apparmor came across the Linux Mint 21.3 Update Manager
today, updating the package from old version  "3.0.4-2ubuntu2.3build2"
to new version "3.0.4-2ubuntu2.4" but the new version was dated "Tue, 06
Mar 2024" in the changelog that lists rodrigo.zaiden at canonical.com as
the maintainer. 

Here is a screenshot of how that update looks in the Linux Mint 21.3
Update Manager - https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/5b207dca03d3 (expires
in 1 week) 

Why would this significant security & package update take 6 months to be
pushed through to my machine? 

Other resources I browsed while discussing this issue on the Linux Mint
IRC - https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jammy/en/man7/apparmor.7.html
& https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy/apparmor & https://apparmor.net/
