README.Debian is normally meant to state "extra details or discrepancies between the original package and [the] debianized version".

Not as you first described it. I will however keep it open (but tagged as wontfix) as I think what you want is a precise description of each test available in rkhunter. This is something I had requested a long time ago: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=1814577&group_id=155034&atid=794190 If you have spare time, I am pretty sure upstream developers would much appreciate your help on this matter ;) Cheers, Julien -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
