Control: found -1 2.9.15.1-2

Hi,

it appears this conffile handling problem is caused by a not good
enough attempt to move the old conffile /etc/cron.daily/5snort to
/etc/cron.daily/snort-common.

This was introduced in version 2.9.15.1-2 commit 8780db8c, to
snort-common.preinst:

+        # rename probably existing cron job with old name
+        if [ -e /etc/cron.daily/5snort ]; then
+            mv /etc/cron.daily/5snort /etc/cron.daily/snort-common
+        fi

It would appear trivial to change this to use
dpkg-maintscript-helper mv_conffile instead.

Someone with enough interest in snort should probably just make this
change and upload it.

Chris
