You are right, I think that is the best method which could also be used
by other packages so that the rkhunter database is only updated when
packages are upgraded/installed.

I already had a look to the triggers, but I am not sure to understand
everything.

In the rkhunter & unhide example, rkhunter needs to declare a trigger.
But where and how?

unhide needs to declare its interest in this trigger in debian/triggers
(interest <trigger-name>)

Have a nice day as well

Cheers,
Julien
