Package: chkrootkit
Version: 0.47-1
Severity: important

On an etch system, chkrootkit sends me an email every day saying this:

/etc/cron.daily/chkrootkit:
The following suspicious files and directories were found:
/lib/init/rw/.ramfs

This file is created by /etc/init.d/mountkernfs.sh from the initscripts
package, on which sysvinit, an essential package, depends, so chkrootkit
should not report it as suspicious.

Note: I don't use "Severity: serious" here because that would mean
"if this bug is not fixed the package should be removed from etch",
which of course I don't want to mean. However, I consider this bug
important enough that we should really try to fix it before release,
as a false positive every day because of an essential package is
something like a joke.

Would not be possible to have an exclusion list for files which
should not be reported, as lintian has for its checks?

Thanks.
