Source: snort
Version: 2.9.7.0-5
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear maintainer,

The version of snort in Debian testing/sid has reached EOL in March [0], making 
it difficult to provide security updates or rule updates over the lifecycle of
stretch. Since no newer version is packaged yet and stretch is deep into the
freeze, I suggest removing the package from stretch.
