[Bug 160002] Re: apparmor should have a 'usr' tunable

[JanCeuleers]

The recent change of description of this bug suggests a particular
solution to the problem, which I think is incomplete.

The problem occurs on my machine because, although /usr is located on
the root filesystem, several of the directories under /usr are soft
links to targets on a different filesystem. I need to do this because
the root filesystem is a smallish flash disk that does not have enough
space to hold some of the files that are needed only late in the boot
process (such as X etc).

I have fixed this by changing all of the apparmor configuration files
that contain impacted paths to include the target path. Laborious,
although such an update could probably be automated.

Perhaps a dpkg-reconfigure hook could be added to enable the admin to
update the apparmor config files when particular files or directories
have been moved.
