The design of apparmor in libvirt always had a way to define custom per-guest rules as described in docs/drvqemu.html and [1]. A fix meant to clean the profiles after guest shutdown was a bit overzealous and accidentially removed this important admin feature as well. Therefore reduce the --delete option of virt-aa-helper to only delete the .files that would be re-generated in any case. Users/Admins are always free to clean the profiles themselve if they prefer a clean directory - they will be regenerated as needed. But libvirt should never remove the base profile meant to allow per-guest overrides and thereby break a documented feature.
