@georgiag we could move the abstraction include to "include if exists" to take care of the depends. Generally speaking evince shouldn't depend on apparmor, but of course make use of it if it is available.

The snap_browsers abstraction provides the minimal amount of permissions required to execute a browser provided through snaps. This is a workaround since AppArmor currently does not provide mediation/filtering on enhanced environment variables. [Test Plan] * Make sure the default browser is provided through the snap store. * Open a PDF that contains a hyperlink using evince and click on the URL. * The browser should open the requested URL. [Where problems could occur] * If the browser or snap core update to have new requirements for opening a browser, then the current policy could become obsolete and will need to be updated again.
