Once the AppArmor parser supports multiple, versioned policy cache files
I will be adding the ability to generate the policy cache files at
kernel postinst. This will involve shipping a flattened AppArmor
features file in the Ubuntu kernel packages and then calling out to
apparmor_parser and specifying the shipped features file. To avoid
potential maintenance issues, there may need to be some script/program
to generate a flattened features file from the
security/apparmor/apparmorfs.c source file.

Title:
  Support multiple versions of AppArmor policy cache files

Status in AppArmor Linux application security framework:
  Triaged
Status in “apparmor” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The AppArmor parser should support multiple directories of policy
  cache files. Directories should be specific to a certain AppArmor
  kernel feature set.

  From a distro standpoint, this would allow policy caches to be created
  during kernel install/upgrade.
