Bug#959399: Bug#1113713: libreoffice: LibreOffice fails to start on Trixie when AppArmor is active

Dear maintainer,

I believe I'm running into the same issue. 
In `/etc/apparmor.d/tunables/home.d/site.local` I have `@{HOMEDIRS}+=/homes/` (This is a historical artefact, but I'm very much stuck with it).
The result is that `service apparmor reload` fails, because of the profile in `/etc/apparmor.d/usr.lib.libreoffice.program.soffice.bin`. In isolation this can be shown with `apparmor_parser --replace -Qv /etc/apparmor.d/usr.lib.libreoffice.program.soffice.bin`, which would eat a CPU and chug along for a minute or two before failing with `Too many states (98514) for type state_t`.
Truncating the profile resolves these symptoms, and will be my workaround for the time being. 

Kind regards,
Peter Kroon
