Hi,
Didier Raboud suggested to use dpkg triggers for what dh_apparmor
does, and is happy to give a hand. See the attached message.
Thank you, Didier!
What do the original dh_apparmor authors / Ubuntu folks think?
Any reason Didier missed, that explains why this might not be that
good an idea?

Package: dh-apparmor
Version: 2.8.0-5
Severity: whishlist
File: /usr/bin/dh_apparmor
Hi,
While updating src:cups to solve #735313, I went and took a look at
dh-apparmor and I gained the convictions that this would be better
implemented as part of a centralized dpkg-trigger (in apparmor probably)
instead of being replicated across all packages shipping apparmor files
(although this is significantly helped with dh-apparmor).
apparmor could have an 'interest /etc/apparmor.d/' triggers file and its
postinst would then do the machinery to create (or remove) the
/etc/apparmor.d/local/* files accordingly.
This could also have the side benefit of only running apparmor_parser
once for all files installed at the same time.
You might be interested in taking a look at cups's postinst to see how
timestamps are kept to avoid useless re-processing, although an initial
trigger processing code could just replicate dh-apparmor's postinst code
for all apparmor profiles found.
I'd be happy to help with this feature, just ask if you need help!
Cheers, OdyX
