I'm also getting this:

Warning: Hidden file found: /dev/.blkid.tab: ASCII text
Warning: Hidden file found: /dev/.blkid.tab.old: ASCII text

That's a regression of bug #86153.

And yes, rkhunter requires extensive manual installation.
Which is a Good Thing IMHO.  Without that, an admin won't be able to 
distinguish false positives from genuine problems.
However, the commented-out entries in the conf file should also explain under 
which circumstances leaving them deactivated will give false positives. E.g. I 
have no idea which process is generating /dev/.blkid.tab - it contains UUIDs of 
the block devices, and I see little harm in having these files, but I'd like to 
be able to check what these files are supposed to contain. (Googling for 
/dev/.blkid.tab give either too many or too few hits, depending on what else 
you enter.)
