IMHO, this should not be an issue. The rc.apparmor.* scripts that we
provide use aa-status, but only when used with '/etc/init.d/apparmor
status', not on boot. Upstart jobs in Ubuntu also do not use aa-status
(see /lib/init/apparmor-profile-load).

All that said, if a distribution wrote their own initscript to use
aa-status and doesn't want python in their boot chart, then they should
look again at the initscripts provided by us as upstream on how to do
that.
