Thanks Steve. Yes - I was thinking about something like a .apparmor file that tells dh_apparmor what it needs.
Without the dh sequencer, we're requiring two things: 1) For the packager to understand *where* to put the override 2) For the packager to specify information needed by dh_apparmor (the profile name) Traditionally the dh sequencer eliminates the first, and the maintainer supplies the second via <package>.<dh_name> files. Consider that if every dh_ helper worked in this current way, we'd be back to not having a dh sequencer. For backwards compatiblity, how about falling back to the old behaviour on some combination of --profile-name and --manifest not being specified and the .apparmor file not being present? And while we're talking of changing things, how about arranging it so that adding the profile to the .install file for dh_install is also not required? An example is dh_installinit - we don't install the init.d file and then give it to dh_installinit; it does the whole thing. Though that does get implied by "install" in the name. Maybe we should have dh_installapparmor which combines the two operations, and retain dh_apparmor for backwards compatibility and eventual deprecation? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apparmor in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1435452 Title: dh_apparmor has no dh sequencer support Status in apparmor package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: As dh_apparmor timing is critical (it must run before services are started with dh_installinit), it makes sense to provide direct dh sequencer support so that maintainers don't have to remember to run it directly, and cannot mistakenly call it at the wrong point, as happened with MySQL in bug 1421303).
