Public bug reported:

Occasionally users will receive and OTA update that requires apparmor
policy to be recompiled. Recompiling apparmor policy can take quite a
bit of time (minutes) depending on how many applications the user has
installed. While this is only expected to happen on major OTA OS
upgrades (eg, 14.10 to 15.04), it is possible it could happen at other
times. This would improve the user experience for developers
considerably since policy recompiles can be relatively frequent when
running the development release.

To improve the user experience, we should detect and recompile apparmor
profiles prior to reboot but after system-image updates has downloaded
the new update. This always for the possibility of using a progress
meter when compiling policy (which we currently cannot). Needs design
input for when to do it and how the progress meter should look.
