Package: etckeeper
Version: 0.43~bpo50+1
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
it would be great if etckeeper could alert the user of required manual
intervention. The package comes configured for git, but if git isn't
installed, the initialization step will simply be skipped, silently.
Either asking the user about which VCS he wants to use, and/or emitting
a message that the user needs to do something to get a functional
package (eg. as an else clause to the init step in postinst), would be
nice.
Kind regards,
--Toni++

But it has done so since well before the version you're using:
else
echo "etckeeper init not ran as $VCS is not installed"
>&2
