Thanks a lot for clarifying this. I found the interpretation of the 
results of debcheckroot at https://www.elstel.org/debcheckroot/

Since you are the author of the debcheckroot tool, why do you think that 
the G (group) and M (mode) flags indicate the content of the files were 
altered? Or did you make a mistake and forgot what the output of 
debcheckroot actually means? If so, does this change your opinion that a 
rootkit is installed on this system?

Kind regards,

Richard
