@Simmon,

You are right, that will require extending what is supported in the mediation, beyond even landing support for #2. It will take a bit of work, but we can definitely do it. My preferred solution is more work than the quickest/easiest solution, as it requires landing a few things that haven't landed yet or are in the process of landing, but overall I would rather go with the best long term solution.

What time frame are you looking for to land fixes for this. Earliest possible for the userspace mediation would be the next apparmor release in the fall. The dbus code changes could be done off of development trees, and as long as care is taken to maintain backwards compatibility, along with a few build conditionals, it could land any time that is suitable for dbus.

A going with a solution that uses the current interfaces and doesn't have any build deps could potentially be added to an apparmor point release, and land a bit sooner.
