Package: etckeeper
Version: 0.34
Severity: wishlist
First: Thank you for this great tool!
It would be great if one could force etckeeper to commit the "changes"
after each apt run, even if /etc wasn't changed. As things are now, you
get nice commit messages for each update, install, uninstall, but only
if any of the involved packages changes /etc. Forcing commits would
preserve information over every install/uninstall/update in etckeeper's
history.

Hi,
I don't think the Debian package of etckeeper will implement this. Lunar
has a good hook you can install if you do want that feature, but I don't
think it's up to me as a maintainer to force this on everyone.
My opinion is that apt, dpkg and unattended-upgrades all have perfectly
good logs for you to audit the state of your system, you shouldn't
duplicate this in your git history.
Feel free to take this discussion upstream, if you really want this to
be part of etckeeper:
https://etckeeper.branchable.com/
... but for now, I think we can let this one rest.
A.
