We don't have any such thing specified yet. The idea was to get *some*
minimal AppArmor support in and working first, so this call for
testing is more about whether I broke anything, than about checking
that the AppArmor profiles are actually efficient security-wise.

However, don't hesitate moving forward and trying to escape the
confinement profiles to access things we clearly don't want to allow,
e.g.:

* none of these applications should be allowed to access files in
~/.{gnupg,ssh}/
* especially, file access via alternate paths specific to Debian Live
systems, e.g.
/live/persistence/TailsData_unlocked/{gnupg,openssh-client}
... should be tested

:)

Cheers,
