It's unclear to me why removing initramfs-tools wants to add all of these other packages, but I don't think that's anything to do with the apparmor SRU; and I can get a clean removal with no new packages installed by running

# apt purge build-essential binutils make-guile cpp make libdpkg-perl initramfs-tools

So I consider this...

This bug was fixed in the package apparmor - 2.10.95-0ubuntu2.7

---------------
apparmor (2.10.95-0ubuntu2.7) xenial; urgency=medium

  * Remove initramfs-tools from the dependencies; this isn't used and the
    dependency has been dropped in later releases. LP: #1713169.
