It should be roughly the same; you may have hit only one or two of the
permissions requested and get to additional ones later, so in this sense
you are right as I added a common permissions set in advance.

The biggest difference I see though is that with enumerating the
permissions you have full control over what is to be put into the custom
policy module, while running audit2allow directly with the -M switch is
kind of a blackbox where you can't see it. It can be done in 2 steps, use
-m, check the type-enforcement file, possibly add or delete some of the
permissions, and then insert the module. It does not matter if te or cil
language and file format is used.
