Here are my old notes, for Ubuntu 10.04.
This assumes bzr isn't installed already (bzr: not bzr_).
In 14.04 you probably need to change "git-core" to "git".

|      aptitude install -Ryq etckeeper git-core+M bzr:
|      sed -i '/^VCS/s/bzr/git/' /etc/etckeeper/etckeeper.conf
|      etckeeper init
|
|  Avoid spurious noise in etckeeper::
|
|      cd /etc
|      printf %s\\n lvm/archive lvm/backup >>.gitignore
|      git rm -rf --cached lvm/backup
|      git rm -rf --cached lvm/archive
|
|  On a roaming DHCP client (i.e. laptop), also ignore resolv.conf::
|
|      printf %s\\n resolv.conf >>.gitignore
|      git rm -f --cached resolv.conf
