[Dimitri John Ledkov]

snapd may create things in /etc, it should be recorded in etckeeper.

Hello,

thanks for filing this bug in Ubuntu.

I see that etckeeper installs some hooks and intercepts dpkg operations:
# cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/05etckeeper
DPkg::Pre-Invoke { "if [ -x /usr/bin/etckeeper ]; then etckeeper pre-install; fi"; };
DPkg::Post-Invoke { "if [ -x /usr/bin/etckeeper ]; then etckeeper post-install; fi"; };

RPM::Pre-Invoke { "if [ -x /usr/bin/etckeeper ]; then etckeeper pre-install; fi"; };
RPM::Post-Invoke { "if [ -x /usr/bin/etckeeper ]; then etckeeper post-install; fi"; };

I don't know if snaps have something similar. I'm adding a snapd task to see what their maintainers have to say.

This is a feature request. We welcome people wanting to write features for snapd, but encourage them to first discuss it in the forum https://forum.snapcraft.io/ before implementing them, on the one hand so they don't come as a surprise and we set aside a bit of time for reviewing and QAing, and on the other so things line up with the general design and architecture of snapd.

Thank you!
