After looking into this in more detail yesterday and today I tend to agree. Although there is some confinement dropping privileges only a small set is used by default and we don't have a apparmor policy in place for wheezy either. I've marked this as no-dsa in wheezy (hope that's o.k.) but am happy to revisit this if others disagre#e. (cc'ing the lts list since we provided a patch for Squeeze) Cheers, -- Guido
