While I haven't dealt with the apparmor-profiles tree much, this git
tree looks good.

It is also worth noting that there were no bzr tags used in
lp:apparmor-profiles so, obviously, there are no git tags in the test
tree.

By "long term branches" of lp:apparmor, are you talking about
lp:apparmor/2.9 and lp:apparmor/2.10? If so, I think that'll be somewhat
easy to handle in a single git repo (with v2.9 and v2.10 branches).
We'll just want to make sure that we share as many objects as possible
with those branches and master. That'll probably mean getting the master
branch all fixed up and then branching off of master at the appropriate
points in master's history to create v2.9 and v2.10 and then pulling in
the newer commits to those branches.

As for the bug fixed annotations, I think the best that we can do is to
identify the commits that have a bug fixed annotation but do not include
a link to the bug in the commit message body. Those commit messages
should be modified to include a proper bug report link. (Note that since
this will require rebasing, this commit message fixup needs to happen
before the v2.9 and v2.10 branches are created.)

Nice job! What conversion tool did you end up using?
