I'm not sure I enough about this (since it's working) to patch the upstream source further.

SCRIPTWHITELIST=/usr/bin/unhide.rb

That's going to lead to a failure on machines that don't have it unfortunately. At least until
http://sourceforge.net/p/rkhunter/feature-requests/41/ is fixed.

INSTALLDIR=/usr
=> which isn't contained in the upstream default rkhunter.conf.
   Is this perhaps just a leftover?

It could very well be. We'd have to test with and without.

For the following, I'm not really sure why I didn't suggest sha512
instead of sha256:
HASH_CMD
=> As part of crypto strengthening, I'd probably suggest to set this to:
   HASH_CMD=sha512sum

Isn't sha512sum slower than sha256sum? As long as sha256 is considered strong, I would favour the more efficient tool.

Further, I've seen you commented:
#SCRIPTWHITELIST=/usr/bin/lwp-request
It's also suggested by rkhunter... so similarly to unhide.rb,... it
*may* make sense to have this enabled per default.
But I have no strong opinion on either of the two.

See above comment.
