* debian/control:

     configure.in if available

[ Upload target towards Wheezy fixing some important bugs
  and substantially improving the information provided on the
  packages to clarify user expectations ]
* Acknowledge previous NMU
* debian/patches/config: Update the patch to:
   - use absolute paths instead of relative paths to point to
     the white list and black list used by the reputation
     pre-processor.
   - disable the reputation as we do not ship any white/black lists
     by default (which causes it to fail at startup) and also
     because this preprocessor is experimental.

     Both changes fix the bug that prevented the package from being
     configured due to errors when starting up Snort with the
     default configuration (Closes: #677810)

    - Add a comment to /etc/snort/snort.conf documenting for users
      reading the file that preinstalled rules are surely out of date.

* debian/patches/config_disabled_rules: Comment out shellcode rules as these
  have a huge impact in performance unless properly tuned.
* debian/patches/rules: Fix the definition of many SIP rules (defined
  as 'alert ip any any'. These were generating a lot of false positives
  in environment were enabled. Regardless of the change comment out SIP
  rules since they are outdate can generate many false alarms unless
  properly defined. (Closes: #626596, #680303).
* debian/control: Adjust description of snort-rules-default to indicate
  users that the ruleset provided should not be considered up-to-date.
  Encourage users to obtain additional/upgraded rules elsewhere.
* debian/snort-rules-default.README.Debian: Include more information to
  potential users on the issues related to the default ruleset provided
  (and why it is out of date) as well as pointers as to where obtain
  additional rulesets. Some of this information is also in the NEWS file
  but is easy to miss to new users.
