** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  Due to various changes in AppArmor, and the AppArmor policy for Tor Browser 
installed by the launcher, the default ibus/dbus abstractions don't include 
user-space access to DBUS/IBUS.
  
  This results in Tor Browser being unable to read keyboard input in
  userspace, resulting in a Non-Functional application.  While Tor Browser
  *launcher* still works, the underlying Tor Browser inherits the AppArmor
  profile from torbrowser-launcher, hence this needs updated here.
  
  [Test Plan]
  This fix has already been tested and implemented in Debian upstream.  
However, it was not available before FeatureFreeze, and was not available in 
Debian until post-Noble release.
  
  This has already been tested manually by others, but as soon as a
  version with the patch present is available, a user should install the
  updated torbrowser-launcher package and the updated AppArmor profile
  should apply, and the program should work as usual.
  
  [Regression Potential]
  Extremely limited.  This simply allows access to userspace dbus/ibus access 
for Keyboard input.
  
  Note that this exact same line being added to the AppArmor profile here
  exists in the Firefox AppArmor ruleset as well, and since Tor Browser
  and Firefox share much of the same code, this should have limited to no
  impact as this has existed in Firefox for a long time.
  
+ [Where problems could occur]
+ 
+ The only thing that might happen is extra access to dbus/ibus interfaces
+ for input handling.  However, as this change being added by SRU is
+ already in the Firefox apparmor profile, this shouldn't cause any
+ issues.
+ 
+ 
  [Other Info]
  This is already available in Debian Unstable, and also in Oracular due to the 
sync.
  
  Simon Quigley is handling the upload and prep of the SRU debdiff to
  noble-updates as a favor to Thomas Ward who is having computer scuff at
  the time of the uploading.

  working.
  
  I am using default Ubuntu desktop with wayland.
