Therefore virt-aa-helper should not reject spaces in vm names anymore

it is goign to be refused causing issues then the parser or xml

should do so.
Apparmor rules are in quotes, so a space in a path based on the name
works.

Your justification seems reasonable. It does mean that we'll need
always quote rules that use def->name and looking at virt-aa-helper.c,
that seems to be the case.
All that said, I was surprised that tests/virt-aa-helper-test didn't
need to be updated, but, indeed, this is a testing gap.
+1 as is, but perhaps in a follow-up patch you could expand bad to be:
const char *bad = "/[]{}?^,\"*";
'{', '}', '?', '^', ',' and '"' are
characters used in AARE (see
'Globbing' in 'man apparmor.d') and add tests to tests/virt-aa-helper-
test for this.
Thanks!
