Ping? Apart of the Totem-related series I've just sent, I believe this
is my only pending patch currently.

Once these are in, I intend to propose a few selected profiles (Evince
and Pidgin, to start with) for integration to their respective
maintainers in Debian. And probably have apparmor-profiles updated in
there too. Then, we can finally try and see how we can efficiently
share the maintenance of these profiles between Ubuntu, Debian, and
anyone who's interested! :)

Cheers,
