Package: snort-rules-default
Version: 2.3.2-2
Severity: serious

Hello Javier,

When upgrading a pristine woody chroot with snort installed, and no
snort conffiles modified manually, upgrading snort-rules-default cause
dpkg to prompt conffiles handling for thirty-four (34) files. This is
more than the total for a standard upgrade to sarge when snort is not
installed.  But given that I did not modify any of them in the first
place even one would be too much.

See the log below. This is easy to reproduce:
1) debootstrap woody
2) apt-get install snort
3) retarget apt to sarge
4) apt-get install snort-common ( to work around #311257)

Apparenlty this is due to this line in snort-rules-default preinst:
mv /etc/snort/*.rules /etc/snort/rules/

This is not acceptable. If you do that, then you cannot mark the files
under /etc/snort/rules/... as conffiles anymore, you must handle them
with tool like ucf that can be instructed of the move.

Anyway, my opinion is those files are best placed in /usr/share with an
overriding in /etc as spamassassin do. 

Cheers,
