Rejecting apparmor

Hi Kees,
I had to reject apparmor, because of several different things:
* There are copies of the GPL/LGPL in various subdirectories, but
there is no 'central' license in the tree root. That means, it is
unclear under which license most of the files are distributed,
particularly the ones without a license header (e. g. the
profiles). This needs to be worked out with upstream, I guess. At
miminum this requires a repackaged orig.tar.gz if there is some
written proof that the 'default' license is GPL (as claimed in
debian/copyright).
* Since debian/copyright claims that the license is GPL, this would
also cover the files in docs/papers. They are in PDF format without
e. g. a LaTeX source, and thus are not in the 'prefered form of
modification' as required by the GPL. They either need to be
accompanied by source (LaTeX, .otd, or similar) or removed from the
orig.tar.gz.
