Title:
  etckeeper init is not executed on initial install

Status in etckeeper package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  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
