Comment 4 for bug 1986739

Glad to hear it worked. Given that this bug is minor and that etckeeper is currently a sync from Debian, I think this should be fixed in Debian or even better upstream. If I'm not mistaken the main upstream dev is a Debian Developer which also did several uploads of the package, even if he's not listed as an Uploader in d/control, see:

  https://git.joeyh.name/index.cgi/etckeeper.git/log/
  https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//main/e/etckeeper/etckeeper_1.18.17-1_changelog

so maybe refiling this bug against the Debian package will count as reporting upstream (I couldn't find a more proper issue tracker). Would you mind doing so? Thanks!
