IMNSHO that is not a quite safe setup: if you tell rkhunter to automatically update your hashes after ubuntu has been updated, it will also not warn for hash changes that are not due to a regular package manager update. I'd rather be warned of all hash changes and determine by myself whether they are a result of such updates or if they are potentially unwarranted changes.
