But did you reboot or otherwise confirm that apparmor is not still
in play?  I'm not super familiar with it but it appears to be a kernel
module--if it were loaded I would expect it to stay that way despite
the file being removed... at least until the kernel was restarted
(i.e. you rebooted the machine).  Though, it's possible that removing
the package asks the kernel to unload the module.
