/etc/cron.daily/etckeeper could easily be marked as %config(noreplace), but in fact it is not meant as a config file. 

I am tempted to close this bug as wontfix, unless you can give me good reasons why you have to change that (executable) file.
Comment 2 css 2011-07-04 15:18:57 UTC 
I agree with you, its not a config file, but we want to redirect the stdout (and stderr)
of /etc/cron.daily/etckeeper to the specific administrator email-addresses.  

As /etc/cron.daily/etckeeper file did not change (afaik) in the last releases, we think
it is a good candidate for %config(noreplace).
Comment 3 css 2011-07-12 13:17:35 UTC 
We found a solution for our customized cronjob, and i will close the Bug with NOTABUG.

Thank you for your fast reply
