Package: tomoyo-tools
Version: 2.6.0-20190305-1
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-Cc: alo...@gmx-topmail.de

Dear Maintainer,

Linux supports LSM stacking now, and Debian's kernel in bullseye (and unstable)
is configured in a way that AppArmor and TOMOYO are enabled by default. So
"security=tomoyo" is not necessary to enable TOMOYO any more, it just disables
AppArmor needlessly.

Hence it's probably a good idea for tomoyo-tools not to add this option any
more. Only disadvantage I can think of is that if running on unsupported
kernels (e.g. from buster), TOMOYO is silently disabled instead of a kernel
panic.

If the default behavior is not changed, it would probably be a good idea to let
the user choose.

(NB: The system I am writing this from was booted without security=tomoyo and
has both TOMOYO and AppArmor enabled.)
