I was not aware of this problem, as my rkhunter.conf was already

I added your correction and have just uploaded the 1.2.7-9 package to my
repository.

The entire /usr/lib/rkhunter/db directory should be
in /var/lib/rkhunter, but as I don't know how to handle it with the
install script that would need a major rewrite to do this.

The cron script can also be improved (I have just copied the example
from the homepage).

As already proposed to Frederik, I am also ready to help as far as I can
for this package. Maybe we can try and work together, and ask for a DD
to sponsor once we obtain a ready-to-upload package, what do you think
of it?
