Great. Thank you.

We have the same issue in ubuntu, how to package profiles. 
We thought about 3 possibilities :
  1. in the application package. This requires to educate package maintainers
  about security policy frameworks.
  2. in one package policy. The policy maintainer has to track all
  application changes.
  3. one package policy for each application. This may lead to lots of small
  packages.

For now, we plan to follow 2. We'll see how things will evolve.

Ok. I'll keep sending profiles updates. If this process doesn't scale
well, we'll sort things out then.
