  SRU Team; the packages for focal-proposed and jammy-proposed are
  intended as security updates prepared by the Ubuntu Security team (and
  have built in a ppa with only the security pockets enabled). However,
  because the fix makes mount rules in apparmor policy be treated more
  restrictively than they were prior to this update, we would like these
  packages to gain more widespread testing.
  
- Risk of Regression:
+ [Risk of Regression]
  
  The update for this issue causes the apparmor parser, the tool that
  translates written policy into the enforcement data structures used by
  the kernel, to generate more strict policy for mount rules, like the
  example below. They are not common in apparmor policy generally, but can
  appear in policies written for container managers to restrict
  containers, and thus can potentially break container startup.
  
  The packages prepared for focal-proposed and jammy-proposed have tested
  with the versions of snapd, lxc, libvirt, and docker in the ubuntu
  archive, but container managers outside of the ubuntu archive may run
  into issues, hence the need for testing and policy adjustments.
  
  Original Report:
  
  The rule
    mount options=(rw,make-slave) -> **,
  
  ends up allowing
    mount -t proc proc /mnt
  
  which it shouldn't as it should be restricted to commands with a make-
  slave flag
