    gnome abstraction now)

  - don't use /etc/sound (part of audio abstraction)
  - use 'owner' for Desktop and all dot files and directories in @{HOME}
  - use ubuntu-bittorrent-clients abstraction
  - use ubuntu-media-players abstraction
  - allow access to xubuntu default app list (LP: #500231)

* ship different AppArmor profiles for different releases:
  - move usr.bin.firefox.apparmor.in to usr.bin.firefox.apparmor.9.10
  - add usr.bin.firefox.apparmor.10.04
  - debian/rules: ship AppArmor profile based on release:
    + add DISTRIB, DISTRIB_VERSION_MAJOR and DISTRIB_VERSION_MINOR
    + ship 9.10 profile for Karmic and under and 10.04 profile for Lucid
      and later
* update AppArmor profile to transition to a java child profile rather
  than Ux. This has the added benefit of restricting java a bit more than
  before. This is needed since the java plugins are expecting certain
  environment variables to be present, which get scrubbed with Ux. 'cx'
  doesn't remove these from the environment but allows for better profiling
  over 'ux'. Thanks to John Johansen for discussion and idea. (LP: #484148)
