    Actually, rkhunter was already available in squeeze: http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/rkhunter

    IIRC I had it installed as early as etch, but I might be wrong about that.

    Was actually going to add that I was quite sure about having installed rkhunter earlier as well :)

    Very good idea to highlight these new packages anyway.
