I agree it is not a regression but following the original discussion on this 
I do think it is a bug worth fixing, see the already quoted:

> The behavior of dontauditx and auditallowx appears to be broken making them useless.

At least it is a pitfall for policy writers which can be easily avoided by this small fix.

I don't mind porting this to the other LTS releases if you agree on this judgement.
If so, what would the best/simplest way to do so? An own thread with [0/1] & [1/1] mails
for each LTS branch or e.g. replying to this thread with a patch for each of the LTS
branches?

If you don't agree I won't send those mails which is also fine.

Thanks,
Alex
