I think this is probably a good idea for at least Gutsy.  For people
that have heavily customized server daemons, we may run into conflicts
between sane configs/profiles and customization.  Until there is an
automated way to notify AppArmor users about audit log messages, some
people may not notice the complain warnings.  However, that's still
probably better than having some service start to break in weird ways.
:)

The updates you've made to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UsingAppArmor seem to
cover the immediate needs for toggling enforce/complain mode for anyone
doing AppArmor testing.

Thanks,
