There are still a few utils which use Perl, though most have been ported to
Python. Note that SWIG v2 is required to avoid the `error: 'bool' undeclared`
build failure with Perl >=5.16 [1].

This patch fixes install locations for man pages, python modules
and vim scripts. This patch improves but does not fix the user-land
AppArmor utilities (i.e., they can now import the modules they need
but are broken in other ways still).
The 2.9 series brings features such as support for dbus, unix
abstract sockets, ptrace mediation, and replaces Perl tools
with equivalents implemented in Python. See [1] for details.
The package expression has been changed to build each component
(library, parser) separately. Additionally, Perl is now only
used to build man pages and locale support has been removed.
The user-land tools are currently broken (fail to import the Python module),
but this isn't really a regression, as only two or three of the tools
installed by the previous version were functional. The most important
tool, aa-status, works, however.
Lastly, dbus support is compiled in, but is untested and probably
requires patching of dbus.
