This is a known bug in ps command of debian. I don't know if the sid version is updated by now, but this particular lkm - 3 process problem *will* occur again.
chkrootkit gives often false positives, but this is no reason not look for a trojan. read the perl code to see what it checks. it's quite simple, it checks the existence of certain hidden directories, files or processes. try to invstigate, why they exist on your machine.
