Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package does not include
md5sums for all the files it ships:

  rkhunter: FILE WITHOUT MD5SUM /var/lib/rkhunter/db/backdoorports.dat
  rkhunter: FILE WITHOUT MD5SUM /var/lib/rkhunter/db/i18n/cn
  rkhunter: FILE WITHOUT MD5SUM /var/lib/rkhunter/db/i18n/de
  rkhunter: FILE WITHOUT MD5SUM /var/lib/rkhunter/db/i18n/en
  rkhunter: FILE WITHOUT MD5SUM /var/lib/rkhunter/db/i18n/zh
  rkhunter: FILE WITHOUT MD5SUM /var/lib/rkhunter/db/i18n/zh.utf8
  rkhunter: FILE WITHOUT MD5SUM /var/lib/rkhunter/db/mirrors.dat
  rkhunter: FILE WITHOUT MD5SUM /var/lib/rkhunter/db/programs_bad.dat
  rkhunter: FILE WITHOUT MD5SUM /var/lib/rkhunter/db/suspscan.dat

If these files are intended to be modified, they should be managed by
maintainer scripts instead of being shipped.
Currently they will be overwritten on every upgrade.
