The etckeeper utility hooks into a few select apt-get commands, those that upgrade, install and remove packages on your system. It has nothing to do with updating whatever local APT repository caches you use. That is to say, the two are unrelated. You can continue using apt-cacher-ng to maintain your local APT repository caches and keep your individual systems up-to-date with apt-get (apt, aptitude, synaptic, etc.) as you do now. Adding etckeeper to the mix would only create a historical record of what packages you have upgraded, installed and/or removed on your system.
