* New upstream release, target towards experimental due to the current freeze.
* The most relevant change in this release is that support by Snort to
  output directly in a database has been dropped, which means that the
  snort-pgsql and snort-mysql packages are no longer possible. This
  is documented in the NEWS file. Also relevant is that support for
  Prelude is no longer available.
* debian/rules: Update the configuration options to adjust to those used
  in the snort.conf script provided upstream
* debian/patches/fix_upstream_typos: Do typo fixes to more source files
* debian/patches/config: Add more comments in the default configuration
  file, enable at least one output plugin (unified2) and set some
  configurations values as recommended in Jason Weir's "Building a
  Debian\Snort based IDS" available in http://www.snort.org/docs
* debian/patches/*: Refresh the patches to apply to the new upstream release
* debian/po/*: Refresh all templates since the previous templates for
  database configuration have gone along with the snort database 'flavor'
  packages.
* debian/snort-common.preinst: Remove the /etc/snort/database.conf on
  upgrades
* debian/snort.preinst: Control output of usermod
* debian/snort-common.{config,templates}:
    - Add code to detect old configuration files with content (which might
      happen on upgrades to 2.9.3 coming from the snort-mysql or snort-pgsql
      packages) and warn the user if they exist.
    - Update the list of valid preprocessors for this release
