Hi Guido and everybody else,
Ubuntu had the feature that went into 4.13 for quite a while so I looked into dropping our rules in favor of the upstream ones.
While doing so I found something yet unclear and filed [1] about it.

TL;DR: The rules "should" not work because they should also have a tracedby rule, but they work.

Jjohansen will let us know when he has looked at it in detail.
The bug I mention here is to track that effort.

P.S. FYI There is something similar ahead for kernel 4.14 which will need a similar rule for signals.

I've pushed that patch as is since without the unconfined ptrace we're
seeing denials with gnome-boxes and virsh.
