This means that Thunderbird has run gpg2 that inherited an open file
descriptor to omni.ja (AppArmor now mediates such inherited file
descriptors). But it does not imply that gpg2 has tried to access
omni.ja whatsoever.

Yes, please :)

You might need to add more than just the omni.ja rule, like I had to
do for torbrowser-launcher:
