Package: etckeeper
Version: 1.18.7-1
Severity: important
Hi,
etckeeper seems to now ignore its own AVOID_DAILY_AUTOCOMMITS setting,
as I now get (unwanted) daily autocommits :

As you can see, I deleted the cron script for now, but I'm fairly confused
as to how this happened, as there was no recent update to the package
(tracker.d.o lists no upload since December)
Best,
