This should not have been left unaddressed so long, and I'm not sure why I
was having difficulty reproducing it back in 2020. This has been bothering
a lot of users.

Unfortunatly, all I can really do about it is to remove the systemd timer.
The cron job is provided by the debian package, not part of etckeeper
upstream, so I can't modify it to avoid running when the systemd timer is
enabled. I have suggested that modification to upsteam.

If this does not get sorted out fairly soon in Debian, I think I will
have to remove the systemd timer.
