Hi,

Agreed, the libvirt upstream distributed file should do version
checks
based on official apparmor releases, and distros can tweak versions if
they have backported features.
So, it seems that we've reached a consensus that adding version
checking machinery makes sense. Great :)
Stefan, do you plan to implement it? One way to go could be to
implement and upload it first in Ubuntu: the rest of the delta is
already there anyway, so it's not as if it changed the current
situation much; and then, it also makes it easy to test the version
checks on Debian, for added confidence, before submitting the
patch upstream.
Note: once this machinery is in place, ideally distros should rebuild
their libvirt binary packages when they introduce new AppArmor parser
features -- which is effectively a transition, in Debian-speak.
Cheers,
