Interesting, so the current upstream apparmor even with the out of tree
patches is more limited than I would like. We do have backports of the 3.12
apparmor all the way back to the 3.0 kernel.

And if you are daring the devel (not upstreamed yet) branch of apparmor code
that Ubuntu is using also has backports to the 3.4 kernel.

Release wise the apparmor 2.8.4 and 2.9 userspaces should be released
very soon. 2.8.4 is an incremental bug fix release over the current 2.8.2/3
releases and 2.9 adds support for new features like dbus mediation if you
have the correct kernel (introspection patches) and a patched dbus daemon
(the dbus patches are on the dbus list and hopefully will be taken soon).

Don't hesitate to ask questions, it can some times take a day or two to
get a response (everyone is extremely busy), people are generally willing
to help.
