patches can be nominated for previous releases, and we do make an effort
to support the current release, as well as the dev branch.

It is unlikely we will pick up patches for older releases than the current
unless it is a serious bug, just because we don't have the man power/resources
to maintain multiple older releases. But we do what we can to help
distros who are shipping apparmor, and occasionally we have cut new versions
of old releases to help with getting patches into a distro.

so to clarify the bzr head constantly moves, but when becomes time to cut
a release a branch and tarball are made. Distros are then free to pickup
the release tar ball or role their own.

The individual distro maintainers are responsible for deciding the version
of apparmor to include and any distro patches to carry on top.
