New question #76343 on apparmor in ubuntu:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apparmor/+question/76343

So I realize that AppArmor is now in the linux-kernel package, but I don't really understand why.  

I recently upgraded my kernel to a 2.6.30 version from ppa that has better support for Intel graphics (jaunty's default kernel was really bad), only to realize that it breaks AppArmor (along with every other version of 2.6.30).  However it seems that as it's a module that's not in the vanilla kernel it should be "easy" to get a DKMS version, or at least roll my own, but it's almost impossible to get a set of clean sources since Novell only posts diffs.

So that's my feature request: make apparmor  into a dkms package: if apparmor is so great that it's irrevocably installed by default, then it should be a dkms package so those with non-standard kernels can still use it.

Okay, gripe over, any reason this won't work?
