SRU REQUEST

1. Users of evince are unable to access .tif files outside of $HOME. The fix is trivial

2. The fix is not in Lucid yet

3. The fix is to add the following to debian/apparmor-profile.abstraction:
  /**.[tT][iI][fF] r,

and to debian/apparmor-profile:
  /**.[tT][iI][fF] rw,

4. TEST CASE:
- obtain a tiff file, and copy it to /mnt/foo.tif
- open it in evince with 'evince /mnt/foo.tif'

5. The regression potential is very low. We only allow access to files that we didn't previously have access to.
