Package: etckeeper
Version: 0.34
Severity: normal

The darcs backend creates a repository in darcs-1.0, which has known
problems and is only supported so that developers that are stuck using
darcs 1.0 (e.g. Etch users) can continue to work with repositories.

I think the default for etckeeper should be the same as the default
for Darcs itself, which is to create repos in darcs-2.  Note that
Lenny has Darcs 2.0.0, so the only excuse for forcing the shitty old
repo format on unsuspecting etckeeper users is to support OLDstable.
