1. impact of the bug is medium for stable releases, as not being able to preseed the home tunable is a longstanding bug that was intended to be fixed in Lucid.
2. This has been addressed in the development branch
3. Patch is very small-- it simply removes a chunk of faulty logic from the preinst.
4. TEST CASE: d/tunables/ home.d/ ubuntu | grep '^@' # should return nothing tapparmor/ homedirs\ tstring\ t/myhome/ \n' | sudo debconf- set-selections d/tunables/ home.d/ ubuntu | grep '^@'
$ cat /etc/apparmor.
$ printf 'apparmor\
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure -p high apparmor
$ cat /etc/apparmor.
At this point '/myhome/' should be in /etc/apparmor. d/tunables/ home.d/ ubuntu, but it is not.
5. The regression potential of the patch is low, as it removes code from the apparmor preinst to fix a feature introduced in Lucid that never worked.
