Package: etckeeper
Version: 0.34
Severity: wishlist

cruft is

    a program to look over your system for anything that shouldn't be
    there, but is; or for anything that should be there, but isn't.

The cruft package allows other packages to install snippets to explain
why things are added or removed.  Currently when etckeeper is used,
cruft(8) discovers the version control metadata and reports it as
unexplained.

>From cruft's README file, I think this can easily be avoided by
etckeeper providing a file along the lines of

    $ sudo cat /etc/cruft/filters-unex/etckeeper
    /etc/.git
    /etc/.git/**
    /etc/_darcs
    /etc/_darcs/**
