Good evening, i'm looking for a sponsor for chkrootkit 0.59-1, this is in git at

https://salsa.debian.org/pkg-security-team/chkrootkit/


Notes:
- It does have a debian/changelog -- I know some people advise to
   only make the changelog with 'gbp dch' immediately before uploading, but
   i like to start with that and edit it a bit
- The many debian patches are simplified a lot -- might be easier to read the 
result than the diffs
   This should make future changes simpler
   I continue to suggest upstream incorporates most of these patches, some of 
which have been in debian
   for decades...
- the salsa pipeline would pass but it looks like it hits a bug in the lintian 
job
  (lintian is clean locally)
  (reported: https://salsa.debian.org/salsa-ci-team/pipeline/-/work_items/562)
- the debian/watch file stopped working - which i see Sven already reported as
   https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1116646
   I upgraded debian/watch to v5 -- but i dont think this will work any better
- (I believe the autopkgtests for the previous version will no longer pass due 
to changes in salsa: the
   version in 0.59-1 should work around this)
- I believe it will now compile on the hurd, although i am not 100% sure of this
   (this is just to make 
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=chkrootkit clean)


And (deep breath): i'd be interested in working towards an eventual DM status 
for this
package, should that be possible.


Thanks
