I also cheated and followed up on IRC with Jamie:

< jdstrand> beuno: fyi, I was opposed to a package. I don't care if it
is a bzr branch or some other url. I do think it should be easy for
people to update

And I agree with him.
Given that, and that Loic doesn't have a strong preference, I would
like to propose that we settle on a web service.
I'll document the details, but it would be something like:
- https://myapps.developer.ubuntu.com/click/frameworks{apparmor-easyprof-ubuntu}.json
has the authoritative list of every framework that has ever existed
and it's state
- There will be a simple page with ACLs based on a Launchpad team
(likely ~myapps-reviewers) that can CRUD this data

If I get enough +1's, I'll make it happen within the next 2 weeks
(first the URL returning the data, then the nice UI to edit it, in the
mean time, I can edit from an admin).
