etckeeper is an application designed to keep your entire /etc under version control. By default it uses git, but can use others. It hooks into apt (and dpkg?) to trap all changes to /etc and also deals with file permissions (very important for things like the passwd file). It is a very good tool for what you seem to be asking.
