Package: apparmor Version: 2.11.0-3 Apparmor can be boot critical. Therefore, users should be warned from deinstalling.
In more detail: Cleaning up my Debian/testing installation, it occured to me that there was an unneeded package apparmor. So I deinstalled it, without any conflicting dependences and without any other resistance. When I rebooted some days later, the system hang. No error message appeared, no clue pointed to missing apparmor. To prevent this from happening to others, several measures seem in order: - Revise the package description: Make it somewhat less technical, and emphasize that the package is needed to boot the default kernel - Make other packages (which ?) depend on apparmor to prevent unconscient deinstallation of apparmor. - Consider an extra dialog popping up to say: this is boot critical, sure you want to deinstall?
