The "no one noticed" is easy to explain:
I always had libapparmor and parser compiled in my bzr checkout, so 
things kept "just working".

You can blame the switch to git for uncovering this - I started with a 
clean checkout, worked on the tools, and noticed that the test fails.

After compiling the parser, it works again.

I also run the tests while building the openSUSE package - but they run 
after everything got built, which also hides this dependency issue.

So basically you want to drop aa-easyprof?

I never used aa-easyprof, so no objections from me ;-)
