I'll need to do the same for the SUSE presets, along with adjusting zypper 
patterns that include libvirtd, and other downstream tweaks. Additional testing 
may uncover other issues I haven't considered. I don't _think_ apparmor will 
prevent things from working since there are no profiles for the modular daemons. 
But yes, I'll need to work on some profiles :-).
