OK, then I will give the answer myself ;-)

I looked a bit closer at the build log and noticed that make says 
"nothing to do" instead of calling pod2man and pod2html in %build.
This explains why there's no manpage to copy around...

The attached specfile patch fixes this by manually calling pod2man and 
pod2html for several files at the end of %build - needless to say that 
it isn't the best solution, but it works ;-)

I did a submitrequest to security:apparmor:factory (SR 56578) - I'll see 
if such a hack will be accepted by Jeff ;-))

My guess is that the problem is caused by different make or automake 
versions. However I'm not sure if this is worth big investigations - 
IMHO my hack should be sufficient and can be dropped when 11.3 goes out 
of support.

(I didn't test the 2.5.1 utils on 11.3 yet.)

Of course. However I'm quite sure that the apache profile is also the 
biggest profile in compiled binary size (and for sure bigger than the 
profile for ping ;-)
