Title:
  etckeeper doesn't commit. Missing executable permissions on
  /etc/etckeeper/commit.d/50vcs-commit

Status in etckeeper package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in etckeeper source package in Utopic:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  * Impact:
  the command fails to run on incorrect permission issue

  * Test case
  see "To reproduce the problem" section of the description

  * Regression potential
  that only changing permission of one file, just test that the command works

  ------------------------------

  Etckeeper doesn't work out of the box on Ubuntu 14.10

  The command etckeeper commit fails without any output.

  The problem is that the script 50vcs-commit doesn't have execution
  permissions.

  Noticed in etckeeper at ubuntu 14.10

  root at ulises2:/etc/etckeeper# lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu 14.10
  Release:	14.10
  root at ulises2:/etc/etckeeper# apt-cache policy etckeeper
  etckeeper:
    Installed: 1.11ubuntu1
    Candidate: 1.11ubuntu1
    Version table:
   *** 1.11ubuntu1 0
          500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ utopic/main amd64 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  The root cause is that 50vcs-commit never gets executed because it
  lacks permissions:

  root at ulises2:/etc/etckeeper# ls -la /etc/etckeeper/commit.d/
  total 40
  drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 Dec 15 13:55 .
  drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 4096 Dec 15 13:55 ..

  -rw-r--r--  1 root root  193 Jun  4  2014 README

  To reproduce the problem:
  --------------------------------------------------------------------

  Install etckeeper on Ubuntu 14.04. Nothing gets commited.

  root at ulises2:/etc/etckeeper# etckeeper init
  Creado un standalone tree (formaot: 2a)
  adding .bzrignore
  adding .etckeeper
  adding .java

    .bzrignore
    .etckeeper
