@Patrick Just discovered after many hours of tinkering that it was all imagined and I wasn’t actually doing anything 
libapparmor does not correctly parse /var/log/files so aa-genprof, aa-logprof don’t do anything. simple workaround is to install auditd and libauparse0 dependency.
Debian bug report: Bug#793545: Apparmor aa-genprof not working in jessie
Ubuntu: Bug #1399027 “logparser doesn't understand /var/log/messages for...” : Bugs : AppArmor
Fixes supposedly coming to Jessie as 2.9.3. (as of 7/2015) Currently on 2.9.0.
