I'm carbon-copying this to the mailing list since I think perhaps Nima
was also working on debian-related things.  (Including a man page).

More than likely this means you have another security module loaded or
compiled into the kernel.  Capabilities? Selinux?  Until the stacking
patches make it into mainline and trustees is ported to use that API,
only one security module is able to be used at a time.
