Please sync snort 2.8.5.2-6 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)

Changelog entries since current natty version 2.8.5.2-5:

snort (2.8.5.2-6) unstable; urgency=high

  * debian/snort{,-mysql,-pgsql}.postinst: Introduce code to be able to manage
     the situation in which a local admin has introduced changes in the
     /etc/snort/snort.debian.conf configuration file manually. Keep the
     local changes and leave the file untouched on upgrades. (Closes: #608590)
  * debian/snort-{mysql,-pgsql}.postinst: 
       - Introduce code to be able to manage the situation in which a local
         admin has introduced changes in /etc/snort/database.conf and has not
         used dpkg-reconfigure. Keep the local changes and do not touch the
         file on upgrades.
       - Generate the database.conf regardless of the status of the
         db-pending-config file as we need the configuration file in any case.
  * debian/snort{,-mysql,-pgsql}.config: Read the values of the configuration
     file /etc/snort/snort.debian.conf and use them to set to preseed all the
     debconf values. This ensures that local changes are reloaded into debconf
     if any changes are made in the file and makes it possible to regenerate
     the file with dpkg-reconfigure.
  * debian/snort{,-mysql,-inline,-pgsq}.config: Make it possible to debug the
    scripts through the use of the  DEBIAN_SCRIPT_DEBUG environment variable
  * debian/snort-{mysql,pgsql}.config: Fix error in call of template which
    belongs to the snort package. Use the proper template now.
  * debian/README-database.Debian: Fix syntax error in MySQL example calls and
     reword the text a bit to clarify that the provided information are just
     examples on how to setup the databases.
  * debian/po/: Use debconf-updatepo to remove obsolete translations from PO
    files.
  * debian/NEWS: Remove the indication that database.conf should not be
    manually edited.
