 * use debconf for the pre-apt prompting, so it will work better when run from
   frontend like synaptic
+* keep an origin branch with the files debian ships
+  
+  Not sure quite how to do this yet, it seems it would need to clone
+  the repo, switch to origin, and commit, then push back to /etc,
+  and either merge origin or commit a second time.
+  And do this after apt runs only, of course.
+
+  Of coure, unless etckeeper is installed by debootstrap or thereabouts,
+  you won't have a true pristine origin branch.
