Bug Description
Binary package hint: etckeeper
etckeeper already autocommits pre/post package installation modifications. It could also offer a daily cronjob to catch uncommitted modifications every night. This would allow much better default tracking.
This should be optional, though I would argue it should be "on" by default if we want one day to include etckeeper by default on server installs (users would get a usable change history without manually committing even once).

Jelmer/Daniel: could you please comment on that proposal (especially the "on by default" part) ? If you ACK it, I'll upload it.
