[apparmor] question about profile name when it is a symlink

Hello,

I'm currently trying to set up an apparmor profile for ntp on my system.
There is a profile for /usr/sbin/ntpd. However, on my system
/usr/sbin/ntpd is a symlink to /usr/bin/ntpd.ntp (the real executable,
it is symlinked by update-alternatives). Hence the profile is not
active.

I could change the profile name to /usr/sbin/ntpd.ntp, but is it the
right way or is there another ?

Best Regards
