[Bug 1178689] [NEW] file .etckeeper modified and not autocommited

[MarianoAbsatz]

Public bug reported:

I've been using etckeeper with mercurial in all my hosts for a while
with the setting:

AVOID_DAILY_AUTOCOMMITS=1
AVOID_COMMIT_BEFORE_INSTALL=1

in order to know what I change manually (outside apt-get
install/upgrade).

However, with some frequency (usually when some post-install script
creates or deletes a file or it changes its properties), the file
/etc/.etckeeper is modified accordingly (during the apt-get process) and
this change is NOT commited, thus next time I run apt-get I get a
message preventing me for doing so only to find out (by running 'hg st')
that the only change was made to .etckeeper during the last apt-get run.

This happens regardles of the version of ubuntu or etckeeper.
