chkrootkit (0.57-2) unstable; urgency=medium

  The Debian version of chkrootkit disbles two tests that
  involve sending kill signals to processes:

  * The test for 'Kovid LKM' sends a 'SIGCONT' to pid 31337
  * The test for 'ENYELKM LKM' sends various signals to pids 12345 and 1

  These tests have been disabled because if those pids are regular processes the
  signal may cause undesirable consequences.

  This means that chkrootkit will potentially fail to detect these rootkits.
