etckeeper on xenial does not kick initial commit on its fresh install.
It seems ubuntu patch has debian/etckeeper.postinst over debian/postinst
which has a logic to kick `etckeeper init`.

$ ls -1 etckeeper-1.18.1*/debian/*postinst
etckeeper-1.18.1/debian/postinst
etckeeper-1.18.1ubuntu2/debian/etckeeper.postinst
etckeeper-1.18.1ubuntu2/debian/postinst

[etckeeper-1.18.1ubuntu2/debian/postinst]
     80         if [ "$2" = "" ] && [ -e "/etc/etckeeper/etckeeper.conf" ]; then
     81                 # Fresh install.
     82                 . /etc/etckeeper/etckeeper.conf || true
     83                 if [ -n "$VCS" ] && [ -x "`which $VCS 2>/dev/null`" ]; then
     84                         if etckeeper init; then
     85                                 if ! etckeeper commit "Initial commit"; then
     86                                         echo "etckeeper commit failed; run it by hand" >&2
     87                                 fi
     88                         else
     89                                 echo "etckeeper init failed; run it by hand" >&2
     90                         fi
     91                 else
     92                         echo "etckeeper init not ran as $VCS is not installed" >&2
     93                 fi
