The test from upstream simply flags any file under /usr/lib that is named
start.sh as a possible adore worm. This is a classic example of a false
positive -- ansible  seems to be the only package providing such a file, so
it is best to leave users to filter or change the report to ignore or hide
the message: see /usr/share/doc/chkrootkit/README.FALSE-POSITIVES.gz for
various ways to do this.

-- we can add this as an example to that file
-- one thing we could also do, is to have chkrootkit check if files are
from packages with 'dpkg -S'  which would give the user more information
about where files came from
