snort-rules uses features of snort that are only present in
newer versions of snort, it depends on the features. Since dpkg
only supports dependencies on package level, this becomes a
dependency on snort ( >= foo ).  There is nothing in the old
snort versions that would stop snort-rules from working, it's no
conflict.
