Title:
  multiarch paths in abstractions should not be Linux-specific

Status in “apparmor” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: apparmor

  The latest changes in natty to allow multiarch paths for apparmor use
  /lib/*-linux-gnu/ in their paths.  This is sufficient for all the
  architectures Ubuntu supports, and it's sufficient for native binaries
  on these architectures, but multiarch is intended to be fully cross-
  platform and be usable for binaries for other kernels.  Even if
  apparmor itself doesn't run on BSD, Hurd kernels, Debian builds
  packages for these architectures and these will be cross-installable
  on multiarch systems... and some of them may even run, by way of
  kernel syscall emulation layers (in-kernel, qemu, etc).  So the
  apparmor abstractions should account for this and not be limited to
  linux-gnu triplets.

  (This is obviously a low-priority edge case.)
