Bug Description
Binary package hint: gdm-guest-session
Version: 0.7
Description: Ubuntu jaunty (development branch)
Release: 9.04
gdm-guest-session relies on apparmor for some of its advertised “security” (notably, home directories not being browsable in the guest session). When apparmor is removed, gdm-guest-session still works, but home directories can be browsed by the guest user, only relying on filesystem permissions.
gdm-guest-session has no formal dependency on apparmor. Because much of its functionality is lost without apparmor, gdm-guest-session must at least recommend apparmor, maybe even depend on it.

I made up my mind: This should be a recommendation and the package description should be phrased more carefully, the reason being that gdm-guest-session is still useful and still reasonably secure even without apparmor.
