Done.  I reviewed debian/* and it would be nice if more of the
debian/patches/* had DEP3 headers and upstreamed as appropriate.  It
seems chkutmp.c and ifpromisc.c (including probably the patch
debian/patches/87a_ifpromisc-Add-a-return-value.patch) are covered by
GPLv3+ and not BSD-2-Clause, could you take a look and update
debian/copyright for this?  See 'lrc' output:

d/copyright     | licensecheck
BSD-2-Clause    | GPL-2+           chkutmp.c
BSD-2-Clause    | GPL-2+           debian/patches/87a_ifpromisc-Add-a-return-value.patch
BSD-2-Clause    | GPL-2+           ifpromisc.c

Upstream publish tarballs on insecure ftp:// URLs with no GPG
signatures.  They do sign the *-m.zip with GPG.  Could you ask them to
sign the release source code tarball with GPG too?  Or at least move the
distribution to a https:// URL.  I did verify the MD5sum (wtf?!)
against ftp://ftp.chkrootkit.org/pub/seg/pac/chkrootkit.md5 as being
de110f07f37b1b5caff2e90cc6172dd8 so I'm hoping you worked on the same
tarball.  Maybe we should check the tarball for rootkits :)
