honor SNMP status on upgrade.

[r.epping@…]

Currently on upgrades of dellomsa the status of SNMP is lost.

SNMP is by default disables as the file /opt/dell/srvadmin/dataeng/dcsnmp.off is in the package. This file is deleted by /etc/init.d/dataeng enablesnmp

Maybe it is an option to mark this file as a conffile.

An other option is to temporarily store the SNMP status on upgrade. For example with the patches below.

Use of debconf might also be an option.

The RPM scripts might also provide clues on how to handle this.
