+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.
+
+Alternatively, commit in /etc, then clone the repo, switch to origin, and
+cherry pick the commit into origin?
+
+Of coure, unless etckeeper is installed by debootstrap or thereabouts,
+you won't have a true pristine origin branch.
+
+etcgit manages this, maybe steal its method?
