I don't believe upstream is opened to handling multiple repositories: https://etckeeper.branchable.com/todo/track_multiple_directories/ It seems like a pandora's box to me: how would you configure which directories to track? Besides, /usr is designed to be readonly, if you're patching files there without building debian packages, you are doing something wrong and etckeeper is unlikely to help you. You are free to get inspiration from etckeeper as to how to implement your own APT hooks, of course. :) A.
