Given that:
- samba's apparmor profile is not enabled by default. One has to install 
apparmor-profiles, and put the profile in enforce mode (it's in complain mode 
by default)
- we are in the release week, isos are being built. This could at most be a 
0-day SRU
- we have been running without this fix since at least January, and enabling it 
now could be risky (every smbd start will invoke a shell script which could 
make the service fail

I think a normal SRU for noble is best. I could even add a set of DEP8
tests for this, to see how samba works with the profile from apparmor-
profiles.

The only downside I see is that not applying the fix now would mean a
release-upgrade regression for the users who are using an apparmored
samba. We can release note it for now.

What do you think?
