TL;DR: in etckeeper.

The etckeeper utility does a good job of collecting the package changes
out-of-the-box but the exact output is slightly different from what I
included above. The out-of-the-box behaviour includes the output of

diff -U0 $before $after | egrep '^[-+]'

where $before and $after are "files" with the output of

  dpkg-query -W -f '${Status}\t${Package} ${Version}\n' | \
          egrep '(ok installed|ok config-files)' | cut -f2,3


I've tweaked that a bit to insert a space after the '^[-+]' and run the
diff output through `sort -k2` so I get the before and after package
info closer together. I've also made a few very minor changes to start
the message with a capital and capitalized APT.

Without my changes, the above would have looked something like

commit dd9602a525e590f24ec19904248938e6ab76e999 (HEAD -> master)

      committing changes in /etc after apt run


      Package changes:
      -debconf 1.5.71 all
      +debconf 1.5.71+deb10u1 all
      -libgssapi-krb5-2 1.17-3+deb10u2 amd64
      +libgssapi-krb5-2 1.17-3+deb10u3 amd64
      -libk5crypto3 1.17-3+deb10u2 amd64
      -libkrb5-3 1.17-3+deb10u2 amd64
      -libkrb5support0 1.17-3+deb10u2 amd64
      +libk5crypto3 1.17-3+deb10u3 amd64
      +libkrb5-3 1.17-3+deb10u3 amd64
      +libkrb5support0 1.17-3+deb10u3 amd64
      -libmariadb3 1:10.3.29-0+deb10u1 amd64
      +libmariadb3 1:10.3.31-0+deb10u1 amd64


BTW, the version in chimaera (and later) also includes a section that
lists the packages with configuration changes and includes the command
line invocation that triggered the changes.

Oh, I've also made a few changes to record package changes if nothing
below /etc has changed.

Hope this helps,
