This is a valid request and would be reasonably straightforward for someone
to implement. The only complication is that Debian has added at least one
option over the years ( -s) so implementing this will require changes to
several other patches: it cant just be a simple patch to chkrootkit but
needs to update any existing patch that touches options.

So im not personally going to work on this any time soon. But patches are
welcome.

Bug#931205: chkrootkit: Honor Single Unix Specification (SUS) by allowing multiple arguments to be grouped behind single `-`

Package: chkrootkit
Version: 0.50-4+deb9u1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

As per SUS Utility syntax guideline 5[0], command-line utility should allow
multiple arguments to be grouped behind single `-` delimiter.

I have yet to come across the *nix utility which doesn't follow this
convention. Can we please honor the Single Unix Specification?
