OK.  I'm convinced by your arguments about app IDs; I didn't realise
that the profile name needed to be known outside just aa-exec-click
(which does have the application path in hand as well as the app ID).

I like your proposal of putting all the possible database names in
CLICK_DIR.  Would it be reasonable to just add all the valid click
databases there, regardless of whether a given package happens to be
unpacked there at the moment?  In that case, the necessary API for that
already exists, albeit a little obscurely:

  >>> from gi.repository import Click
  >>> db = Click.DB()
  >>> db.read()
  >>> [db.get(i).props.root for i in range(db.props.size)]
  ['/usr/share/click/preinstalled', '/custom/click', '/opt/click.ubuntu.com']

It might then be unnecessary to change click at all, which is obviously
fantastic from my point of view. ;-)  But this does genuinely seem like
a better technical solution, and would let us stop playing whack-a-mole
with the precise ordering of various database operations.  Given that
click-apparmor is the only system-level hook in the phone stack right
now, we could mandate this kind of thing as required behaviour for
future system-level hooks.
