As previously noted, chkrootkit is one pallative.

Note that once a box is suspect, your trust in any of its output is
equally suspect.   You must analyze it from known good media (say, a
Knoppix boot disk).

A mix of chkrootkit, debsums, and the new tripwire replacement (aide,
integrit), would probably be good.  Reinstall from known good sources
would be strongly recommended.

Peace.
