* Added configuration options for highlevel and lowlevel package managers
in etckeeper.conf. * Only install apt hooks if apt is used. * Only add backup conffile exclusion to gitignore if dpkg is used. * Rename pre/post-apt.d to pre/post-install.d to allow the same directories to be used for other package managers. * Use the name of the highlevel package manager in commit messages.
