[opensuse] Proper Use of "rkhunter --propupd"?

Hi,

I've noticed that whenever I update a package (many packages, anyway), I
start getting notifications from rkhunter (mostly that inode numbers
have changed). I then run "rkhunter --propupd" and the warnings cease.

I'm wondering what is the proper use of "rkhunter --propupd"? Should I
run it every time I update packages?
