Ping?

Just wondering whether this is fitting into wily timeframe.

Title:
  umount options are incorrectly treated as mount options

Bug description:
  apparmor_parser is treating options on umount rules as mount options.
  The flags used in mount(2) are entirely different than the flags used
  in umount2() and apparmor_parser knows nothing about the umount2()
  flags (MNT_FORCE, MNT_DETACH, MNT_EXPIRE, UMOUNT_NOFOLLOW).

  This can be demonstrated by trying to compile a policy, with
  apparmor_parser version 2.9.1, containing a umount rule that is
  conditional on the "force" option:

    $ echo "/t { umount options=force, }" | ./apparmor_parser -qQ; echo $?
      unsupported mount options
    1

  Now we'll use a mount flag in the umount rule:

    $ echo "/t { umount options=nosuid, }" | ./apparmor_parser -qQ; echo $?
    0

  The umount rule with a umount option fails to compile but the umount
  rule with a mount option compiles. This is not the intended behavior
  and it should be the other way around.
