Hi intrigeri!
I would have totally agreed with you on this on any other situation, provided that this issue[1] on dh-apparmor's postinst scripts handling didn't existed. Since this very very simple "typo" throws the Vidalia enduser a totally harmless but error-message-at-the-end[2], I thought I was better to avoid the user get confused about any possible issue on Vidalia, in contrast to depending on an extra single package, of course, up to dh-apparmor fixes this issue.
