[Bug 297920] [NEW] wish: offer to init and commit when the etckeeper is installed

[Andrew Sayers]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: etckeeper

When etckeeper is first installed, you need to run `etckeeper init` and
`etckeeper commit 'Initial commit'` before etckeeper is activated.
Presumably this is to give you chance to pick your preferred version
control system, but I had (perhaps naively) expected it to do that
itself.

When run interactively, could the post-install script check which
version control programs are available, offer the user a choice of
packages if there's more than one, then offer to init and commit?  I'd
be willing to help out with the script to implement that.
