Ah, I now see what you mean by the usrmerge. However I think that just
reinforces my comments above. It doesn't make any sense for the
installed package file to be installed in /sbin if /sbin is a symlink to
/usr/sbin. if /usr/sbin is the canonical directory, and /sbin is an
alias/symlink, then the apparmor_parser file should be installed in
/usr/sbin.

Title:
  package leaves non-updated copy of /usr/sbin/apparmor_parser after
  update to  apparmor-2.13.3-7ubuntu5.2. Orphaned older executable
  breaks docker

Status in apparmor package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  There appears to be two copies of apparmor_parser installed by
  previous versions of the apparmor package, in /sbin and /usr/sbin.
  When updating the apparmor package to apparmor-2.13.3-7ubuntu5.2, only
  the /sbin/apparmor_parser executable is updated and the /usr/sbin copy
  is left unchanged. Being earlier the path, /usr/sbin/apparmor_parser
  is used by Docker when trying to register the docker-default apparmor
  profile for containers. The orphaned older executable reports a
  warning about a new parameter in the parser configuration file in the
  same package, and that warning breaks the version check that docker
  runs against that executable on the first line of output. trying to
  parse the warning while looking for the version number results in the
  error:

  docker: Error response from daemon: AppArmor enabled on system but the
  docker-default profile could not be loaded: strconv.Atoi: parsing
  "file": invalid syntax.

  As a workaround, we've been replacing the old version in /usr/sbin
  with a symlink to the file in /sbin, but the package should be
  corrected to do appropriate behaviour (either delete the
  unnecessary(?) copy in /usr/sbin or replace it with a symlink)
