Many bugs reported to the Ubuntu bug database include dmesg, or filtered dmesg, and it has proven very useful in determining to what extent incorrect AppArmor policies can be blamed for specific problems, and more importantly, what the solution may be. (It's also been very useful for discovering which problems are likely hardware issues, e.g. due to failing hard drives.) Including, or offering to include, some AppArmor log messages may be a nice extension of this feature request. Thanks
