Yes, for example a program that just uses the lxc API should only need
the lxc-libs package. Not sure how well this is actually split up right
now though given that things like the startup scripts, lxc-monitor,
etc... are in the main package.

I'm not an apparmor expert, but it seems to me the files should be
packaged in lxc-libs for the same reason as above. I think these
apparmor additions to the upstream .spec should continue to be behind
%if suse_version since they doesn't make sense in the Fedora derived
distros :)
